Cutting-Edge Research by Joe Uhan in Ultra Running Magazine: ultrarunning/features/health-and-nutrition/cutting-edge-research The next phase of research on ketogenic diets coming from low-carb diet investigators Dr. Stephen Phinney and Dr. Jeff Volek is in exercise performance looking at the enhanced fat-burning metabolism in ultra-endurance athletes. Preliminary findings of their “Fat Adapted Substrate Oxidation in Trail Elite Runners” (FASTER) study so far have shown that antioxidants increase once an athlete makes the shift over from burning sugar to burning fat and ketones. They also experience higher VO2Max values and significantly better fat metabolism. This is the area of ketosis research to watch because it could be the ultimate game-changer about low-carb, high-fat diets.
