Intermittent Fasting Burns Fat but May Not Make Cyclists Faster
Original: Intermittent Fasting Helps Burn More Fat, but Does It Make You a Faster Cyclist? New Research Reveals an Important Difference
New research suggests intermittent fasting increases fat oxidation during endurance exercise, meaning cyclists who fast burn a greater share of fat as fuel. However, the findings indicate this metabolic benefit does not automatically translate into better performance, with an important distinction drawn between fat-burning and cycling speed. Endurance athletes and nutrition followers are weighing what this means for training and race-day fuelling strategies.
Why now: Cyclists and endurance athletes are interested in whether fasting can improve performance, not just body composition
