A qualitative histochemical assessment of glycogen loss in biopsies was made in bushbabies after running and jumping. Glycogen loss was related to the specific type of exercise. After running, glycogen loss was greatest in the slow-twitch oxidative fibre and depletion in the fast-twitch oxidative glycolytic fibres was similarly greater than in the fast-twitch glycolytic fibres. After jumping, the opposite pattern of glycogen utilization occurred (FG > FOG > SO).
