Metabolic adaptation
V x O 2peak correlated with expression of gene clusters that regulate fat and carbohydrate oxidation.
Improved peak oxygen uptake is associated with better metabolic regulation in trained individuals.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
V x O 2peak also correlated with expression of gene clusters that regulate fat and carbohydrate oxidation (P < 0.05).
Why this rating
Based on the correlation analysis presented in the study.
