Metabolic adaptation
The contribution to total carbohydrate oxidation was significantly greater with CHO than W during running (33 ± 4% vs. 23 ± 3%; p < 0.01) and cycling (36 ± 5% vs. 22 ± 3%; p < 0.01).
Athletes should consider carbohydrate solutions to maximize carbohydrate oxidation during endurance activities.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
the contribution to total carbohydrate oxidation being significantly greater with CHO than W during both running (33 ± 4 vs. 23 ± 3%; p < 0.01) and cycling (36 ± 5 vs. 22 ± 3%; p < 0.01).
Why this rating
The study design involved controlled trials with measurable outcomes.
