Metabolic adaptation
Nutritional interventions can promote fatty acid oxidation and modify subsequent exercise capacity.
Implementing specific nutritional strategies may enhance fat utilization and improve performance in athletes.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
This symposium will focus on nutritional interventions that promote FA oxidation, attenuate the rate of muscle glycogen utilization and modify subsequent exercise capacity.
Why this rating
The claim is based on discussions from multiple experts in the field.
