Synopsis of Social media discussions
Several discussions emphasize the study's findings that a ketogenic diet may impair exercise efficiency at higher intensities, using words like 'detrimental' and 'limitations' to convey critical engagement. The tone varies from analytical to skeptical, with some users highlighting the consistency with prior research and others questioning its implications for athletic performance, reflecting a mix of curiosity and cautious evaluation.
Agreement
Neither agree nor disagreeThe discussions display mixed opinions; some posts acknowledge that the study suggests keto diets may impair high-intensity exercise efficiency, while others express skepticism or note that further analysis is needed.
Interest
High level of interestThere is high interest, as posts reference specific studies, mention VO2max levels, and discuss implications for endurance and exercise performance, indicating active engagement with the research topic.
Engagement
Moderate level of engagementPosts show some depth, with users quoting study results, referencing other experts, and commenting on methodology, though some responses are more casual or surface-level.
Impact
Neutral impactThe overall perception is that the publication has moderate impact; many consider it relevant but also highlight that it aligns with existing doubts about keto and athletic performance.

Not many on whole dietary patterns but certainly lots of interventions with diff doses/sources of carbs, protein (plant vs animal), & omega-3s
I can look later!

Ketogenic Diet and Endurance Sports Science Insights
The ketogenic diet induces a metabolic state where the body primarily uses fats and ketones for energy. It may preserve submaximal endurance but can impair exercise efficiency at higher intensities, affecting overall performance. Learn more in this video.

@SebastijanOrlic (Twitter)@TBogovac Ako smo sa opterećenjem na VO2max <60% (ultra endurance, lower intensity) utjecaj keta je isti kao i sa uravnoteženom prehranom, ne kompromitira performanse, ali ih ni ne poboljšava. Na 70+% performanse padaju dramatično. https://t.co/RfLq9eabQp

Abstract Synopsis
- The study found that a 31-day ketogenic diet (KD) did not significantly affect overall endurance capacity in trained runners, but it did impair exercise efficiency at 70% VO2max, leading to increased energy expenditure and oxygen use.
- Exercise efficiency remained stable at 60% VO2max during the KD, and endurance time to exhaustion was similar before and after the diet, indicating submaximal performance was preserved.
- While the ketogenic diet helped maintain submaximal exercise capacity without needing carbohydrate supplementation, it also posed a higher risk of individual endurance decline due to changes in respiratory exchange ratio and energy utilization.
