Metabolic adaptation
Dietary periodization can alter patterns of fuel utilization during exercise but often fails to enhance performance capacity.
Practitioners should be cautious in expecting performance improvements solely from dietary periodization.
StrongQualifiesmedium confidence
Such interventions have a major effect on altering patterns of fuel utilization during exercise; however, they often fail to enhance performance capacity.
Why this rating
The claim is based on recent investigations into nutrient/training strategies.
