Abstract Synopsis

  • Understanding how fats are used as fuel during exercise involves different sources like subcutaneous adipose tissue, intramuscular triacylglycerides, cholesterol, and dietary fat.
  • Maximal fat oxidation (MFO) occurs at exercise intensities of 45-65% VO2 max, where fatty acid oxidation (FAox) is optimized before transitioning to carbohydrate oxidation (CHOox) at higher intensities.
  • Factors such as training status, exercise intensity, duration, sex differences, and nutrition significantly influence the rate of FAox and can lead to improvements in endurance performance.
