The continual supply of ATP to the fundamental cellular processes that underpin skeletal
muscle contraction during exercise is essential for sports performance in events lasting …

Sports periodization has traditionally focused on the exercise aspect of athletic preparation,
while neglecting the integration of other elements that can impact an athlete's readiness for …

Key points Three weeks of intensified training and mild energy deficit in elite race walkers
increases peak aerobic capacity independent of dietary support. Adaptation to a ketogenic …

It is becoming increasingly clear that adaptations, initiated by exercise, can be amplified or
reduced by nutrition. Various methods have been discussed to optimize training adaptations …

Background Many successful ultra-endurance athletes have switched from a high-
carbohydrate to a low-carbohydrate diet, but they have not previously been studied to …

A key element contributing to deteriorating exercise capacity during physically demanding
sport appears to be reduced carbohydrate availability coupled with an inability to effectively …

Abstract During the period 1985–2005, studies examined the proposal that adaptation to a
low-carbohydrate (< 25% energy), high-fat (> 60% energy) diet (LCHF) to increase muscle …

Fat and carbohydrate are important fuels for aerobic exercise and there can be reciprocal
shifts in the proportions of carbohydrate and fat that are oxidized. The interaction between …

The ability of ketogenic low‐carbohydrate (CHO) high‐fat (K‐LCHF) diets to enhance
muscle fat oxidation has led to claims that it is the 'future of elite endurance sport'. There is …

Impaired mitochondrial function often results in excessive production of reactive oxygen
species (ROS) and is involved in the etiology of many chronic diseases, including …
