Abstract in brief
- A study examined the effects of a low-carbohydrate high-fat ketogenic diet (LCKD) over 12 weeks on well-trained male endurance athletes compared to a high-carbohydrate (HC) diet.
- The LCKD group lost significantly more body mass and body fat and had elevated levels of fasting serum beta-hydroxybutyrate, suggesting improved fat metabolism.
- Despite these changes, there was no significant difference in overall performance during a 100km time trial, but the LCKD group showed improvements in sprint peak power and critical power compared to the HC group.

Most liked on X and Bluesky@a_scan4 Studies suggest this happens in 4-12 weeks. Basically, your body will get more efficient at using fat for its primary fuel. https://t.co/TtVmiIToLe
Se encuentran muchas investigaciones que hablan del proceso de cetoadaptación en el trabajo aeróbico, con protocolos keto de 10-12 semanas. Más eficiencia en la movilización y oxidación de los lípidos, lo que aumenta el rendimiento competitivo.

@Pacshion @SBakerMD Absolutely. Performance went down for 4-8 weeks and then afterwards I saw a return and improvement. Now endurance feels inexhaustible. Same happens on keto. Your body will get more efficient at burning fat for fuel. https://t.co/TtVmiIToLe

@MikaelFogelholm Tutkimuksissa joissa sopeutuminen on ollut 12 viikkoa, ei suorituskyvyssä olla nähty käytännössä merkittävää laskua tai nousua, verrattuna suuria määriä hiilihydraatteja syövään ryhmään huippu-urheilijoilla (noin 600 grammaa vs 60 grammaa). 10.1016/j.metabol.2017.10.010
@mcgregor_renee @andyluvv @nickj1925 Indeed, the science on that is still limited, but there are also studies that support the increased fat adaptation part. https://t.co/q48lRr0dc0 Ever heard of Zach Bitter (a runner)?

As part of my study in #NUTR4000 at #UQ, I was tasked with reviewing a sports nutrition article on keto-adaptation and its effect on exercise performance and body composition. I have summarised it below but I definitely recommend reading the full study.
