The webinar will cover various aspects of physiology and the impact of LCHF, including:The interplay between high aerobic capacity and good economy (a low oxygen cost to produce a given power output or speed) in high performance athletes.Muscle capacity for fat oxidation across a range of exercise intensities, and adaptation capabilities.Metabolic cost of a switch to greater fat metabolism by the muscles and the impact on exercise economy.Speed and power outputs that underpin success in endurance and ultra-endurance sports.Strategies that periodise carbohydrate into training and race day nutritionThe best scenario for the use of keto dietsContinuing Professional Development (CPD)This webinar has been endorsed by the Association for Nutrition (AfN) (EN175).afn_cpd_en175.pngTuesday, 8 March, 2022 -11:00 to12:00United KingdomIs this an online event? : OnlineDisplayed text for weblink button : Register
