Abstract in brief

  • The study examined the effects of a very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet (VLCKD) on explosive strength performance in elite artistic gymnasts, finding no significant differences in strength tests compared to a standard Western diet (WD).
  • Over the 30-day VLCKD period, athletes experienced a notable decrease in body weight (from 69.7 kg to 68.1 kg) and fat mass (from 5.3 kg to 3.4 kg), while muscle mass showed a non-significant increase.
  • Despite concerns about low carbohydrate diets affecting athletic performance, the results suggest that VLCKD did not negatively impact strength, indicating potential benefits for athletes focused on weight management.

@Wendi_Irlbeck Axtualjy, elite strength athletes suffered no loss of performance after 30 days very low carb, but in this study they had much higher protein than standard keto. https://t.co/xuy2JcjJet I think that GNG from the additional protein is key and thtvstandard keto ratios are too low
