Metabolic adaptation
Fat-adaptation increased fat oxidation during submaximal cycling compared to a high-carbohydrate diet.
Practitioners may consider fat-adaptation strategies to enhance fat oxidation in endurance athletes.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
We conclude (1) compared to a high-carbohydrate diet, fat-adaptation increased fat oxidation during submaximal cycling.
