Built in collaboration with the experts and sports scientists at SNDC, the Step Test on ROUVY takes the guesswork out of indoor training. Step by step, this structured workout guides you through incremental stages to accurately measure your power output and lactate response,

Inigo San-Millan and colleagues explained in the journal of Clinical Bioenergetics the detailed metabolic effects of physical inactivity

Lactate could serve as a valuable biomarker for evaluating mitochondrial function which forms the cornerstone of metabolic health.

Proud to be part of this collaboration. The evidence points to glucose availability, not muscle glycogen, as the key limiter. Maintaining blood glucose requires far less CHO than traditionally assumed. Huge thanks to @ProfTimNoakes and the team for years of work.

This important, novel but conveniently overlooked study by Coyle et al in 1988 https://t.co/GLFz3ptZ32 examined two groups of cyclists with similar VO2max values but with quite different exercise times to fatigue (61 vs 29 minutes) when cycling at 88%VO2max.
Characteristics of the more durable cyclists were: Lower rates of muscle glycogen use during exercise; much lower rates of CHO oxidation (2.3 vs 3.5g/min) during exercise; much higher rates of fat oxidation (1.02 vs 0.39g/min); lower blood lactate concentrations during exercise; greater percentage of type 1 muscle fibres (67 vs 47%); but similar muscle mitochondrial enzyme activities in both groups. The authors concluded that these differences were due to “continued neurological and/or muscular adaptations that reduce muscle glycogenolysis specifically when cycling” (p.2629-2630).
Their finding that rates of CHO oxidation were much lower in the more durable athletes conflicts absolutely with their simultaneous promotion of their then and still unproven hypothesis (see our upcoming Endocrine Reviews article) that superior endurance requires high rates of CHO and low rates of fat oxidation. In fact they were likely studying two groups of athletes differing in their habitual diets - the durable group eating a high fat diet; the less durable athletes, a high CHO diet.

Kohlenhydrate und sportliche Leistung

Kohlenhydrate gelten seit fast einem Jahrhundert als essenziell für die sportliche Leistungsfähigkeit. Aber ist diese Annahme noch UpToDate? mehr dazu unter:

Intermittent fasting is becoming increasingly popular - not only because of its health benefits, but also because of its positive effects on endurance performance. 🔥 But what's really behind it?

Is it obligatory to ingest >90g carbohydrate/hr if one wants to run a sub-2hr marathon? This theory is based on 2 key presumptions. First that the oxidation of fat provides essentially no energy for elite athletes running at 21.2km/hr. Second that the rate of exogenous carbohydrate oxidation by the muscles during 2 hours of exercise exactly equals the rate of carbohydrate ingestion.
@PhilipPrins11 and I evaluate these assumptions and conclude that the 2hr marathon will only be run by athletes able to extract at least some energy from fat oxidation when running at such a high intensity for 2 hours.

Trained triathletes on low carb diets can maintain endurance performance just as well as those on high carb diets, according to our recent study. Minimal carb supplementation (~10g/hour) during exercise prevented hypoglycemia and boosted endurance by 22% https://t.co/J0m2ShEU4F

You’ve probably already come across the “Norwegian method”. But what makes this approach so special? 💪🇳🇴

Many of us have heard that the more carbohydrates we consume during training, the better. But is that really true?
