Abstract
This session will combine recent scientific evidence with practical experience to discuss the potential benefits of low- and high-carbohydrate intakes as they apply to overall health and exercise performance. Attendees of this session will learn the beneficial and unfavorable effects of carbohydrate and fat manipulations in the diet and how those manipulations affect a single exercise session (performance) and subsequent sessions (adaptation). Additional topics will include how fat adaptation (and recent diet trends) affects fat loss, energy utilization, and metabolic flexibility. Further, pre-fatigue will be discussed as a conjunctive technique to carbohydrate manipulation. Learning objectives include: Three specific methods to achieve a glycogen-depleted status (sleep low, train low, recover low); Fueling recommendations for both training and competition; How to best incorporate low-carbohydrate availability sessions into programming; and Research updates on fasted cardio, intermittent fasting, ketogenic diets, and fat adaptation.
