Abstract in brief
The study examined how a short-term, severe energy restriction (9 days of low energy availability) affects elite endurance athletes during intensified training, finding that it reduces body fat without impairing performance.
Despite increased stress and changes in wellbeing reported during the restrictive diet phases, race performance improvements remained consistent across both high carbohydrate and restricted energy intake conditions.
The findings suggest that strategically timed brief periods of severe energy restriction can help athletes achieve desired race weight without negatively impacting their performance, highlighting potential benefits for long-term physique and performance planning.]

Race walkers who restricted food and lost 2 kg to be lighter for a competitive 10K race did not perform better than those who maintained weight. (Both groups fueled well the 24-hour pre-event.) Why bother? https://t.co/YXUmlJ8C75 Thx @LouiseMBurke https://t.co/NaAqNFcqmG

I get it that the high performance types are going to go after performance any way they can irrespective of the REDS and life long disordered eating that they will trigger along the way https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36940222/
