Viewing metabolism through the lens of exercise biology has proven an accessible and
practical strategy to gain new insights into local and systemic metabolic regulation. Recent …

Human skeletal muscle demonstrates remarkable plasticity, adapting to numerous external
stimuli including the habitual level of contractile loading. Accordingly, muscle function and …

Throughout the sport-science and sports-medicine literature, the term “elite” subjects might
be one of the most overused and ill-defined terms. Currently, there is no common …

Sports periodization has traditionally focused on the exercise aspect of athletic preparation,
while neglecting the integration of other elements that can impact an athlete's readiness for …

Perturbed diurnal rhythms are becoming increasingly evident as deleterious events in the
pathology of metabolic diseases. Exercise is well characterized as a crucial intervention in …

Key points Three weeks of intensified training and mild energy deficit in elite race walkers
increases peak aerobic capacity independent of dietary support. Adaptation to a ketogenic …

It is becoming increasingly clear that adaptations, initiated by exercise, can be amplified or
reduced by nutrition. Various methods have been discussed to optimize training adaptations …

The ability of athletes to train day after day depends in large part on adequate restoration of
muscle glycogen stores, a process that requires the consumption of sufficient dietary …

Since the introduction of the muscle biopsy technique in the late 1960s, our understanding
of the regulation of muscle glycogen storage and metabolism has advanced considerably …

The ability of ketogenic low‐carbohydrate (CHO) high‐fat (K‐LCHF) diets to enhance
muscle fat oxidation has led to claims that it is the 'future of elite endurance sport'. There is …
