Energy balance
Adaptations to a short-term high-fat diet did not confer a performance advantage during a time trial.
A high-fat diet may not improve performance in time trials despite enhanced fat oxidation.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
TT performance was similar for both trials (25.53 +/- 0.67 min vs 25.45 +/- 0.96 min, NS).
Why this rating
The performance data is based on controlled testing with statistical analysis.
