Consensus statements from leading governing bodies generally recommend that carbohydrate quantities should range from 3 to 12 g kg 1 body weight.9 - 10 However, recent work suggests that LCHF diets that raise blood ketone levels can increase fat oxidation rates and markers of health and exercise performance.11 - 12 In addition to increased fat oxidation,
other potential benefits of LCHF eating plans for endurance athletes include improved training and racing energy, lowered incidence of delayed onset of muscle soreness, reductions in exogenous caloric requirements during training and competition, and the reduced incidence of serious gastrointestinal complaints.13 Although
nontraditional, an LCHF eating plan
approach has been recommended for athletes in a variety of sports for nearly 40 years, 14 and this report is representative of
other cases.
Her
other research interests include
nontraditional approaches to the teaching of grammar and the incorporation of instructional technology in language teaching, in particular the flipped learning
approach.
