Abstract in brief

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.

ya que afectan en sí a cuántas calorías ingerimos y quemamos durante el día, pero al final siempre se trata sobre este equilibrio calórico. Además, en la oxidación de lípidos intervienen varias hormonas como GH, Cortisol, y no solo la insulina. https://t.co/1cTg2hMv8m
