I agree.  Especially,

"

Fatigue is closely associated with depletion of the limited stores of carbohydrate in the muscle and in the liver. Therefore, it is not surprising that strategies have been developed to ensure that not only are the carbohydrate stores well stocked before exercise but that they are also restored as soon as possible after exercise. Consuming carbohydrate immediately after exercise increases the rate of muscle glycogen resynthesis and also results in greater endurance capacity during subsequent exercise."

because I have been training to do a century (bike) next month and I've been told by so called experts that the best thing to do is eat protein after a hard ride.  Now this is saying carbs are better post ride.

What I would like to know also (sorry if it was in a post and I missed it) is where does stored fat (horse or human) fit into all this?  All I hear and read is about muscle being broken down during anaerobic but nothing about fat reserves.  Again, sorry if I missed the post and my interest is human and horse.
