individuals are experimenting with LCHF diets because of body composition and/or to improve fat oxidation ( Gregory et al., 2017 ; Michalczyk et al., 2018 ; Volek et al., 2016 ; Webster et al., 2016 ). However, LCHF diets are partly controversial because many commonly eaten LCHF foods have been implicated

Indeed, it has been known for nearly a century that 100% CHO produces ∼5.5% more ATP per liter of oxygen consumed than compared with 100% fat oxidation ( Krogh

The increased reliance on aerobic metabolism in prepubescent children compared with adults is reflected by greater fat oxidation ( 33 ). Moreover, previous studies have reported higher peak fat
efforts. Alleged performance benefits are attributed to optimized fat oxidation. However, recent data demonstrates that a low carb, high fat diet (LCHF) leads to an impaired performance and less efficient energy metabolism in elite endurance athletes. The aim of the study was to analyze the alteration of

Conversely, carbohydrate provisions before and during endurance exercise is well established. The aim of this study was to explore carbohydrate

Differences in gastrointestinal discomfort, blood glucose, lactate and rates of carbohydrate, and fat oxidation were assessed between treatments and across time using a two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance.
