Metabolic adaptation
Total rates of carbohydrate oxidation were greater during cycling (24.0±0.8 mmol C6·min-1) than running (21.7±1.4 mmol C6·min-1; P<0.01).
Triathletes may optimize performance by understanding carbohydrate oxidation rates in different activities.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
total rates of carbohydrate oxidation (CHOox) were greater throughout the cycle than the run (24.0±0.8 vs. 21.7±1.4 mmol C6·min-1; P<0.01).
