Metabolic adaptation
Fat adaptation increases rates of fat oxidation during submaximal cycling at 63% of peak power output.
Incorporating a high-fat diet may enhance fat oxidation during endurance cycling.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
5 d adaptation to high-fat diet (Fat-adapt) produced metabolic adaptations to increase fat oxidation during submaximal cycling at 63% of peak power output (PPO).
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving controlled dietary interventions and exercise testing.
