The effects of increased fatty acid provision on rates of muscle glucose uptake during exercise are equivocal.
The impact of fat availability on glucose uptake during exercise remains unclear.
StrongQualifiesmedium confidence
The effects of increased FA provision on rates of muscle glucose uptake during exercise are, however, equivocal.
Why this rating
The findings are based on studies involving both untrained and well-trained subjects.

- Ingestion of long-chain triglyceride (LCT) solutions or infusion of intralipid before exercise leads to significant reductions in whole-body carbohydrate oxidation and decreased muscle glycogen utilization during moderate and intense dynamic exercise lasting 15-60 min.Strong
- Increased fatty acid availability does not systematically improve exercise capacity despite substantial muscle glycogen sparing (15-48% compared with control).Strong
