ketone testing in athletes
Ketone testing in athletes refers to the process of measuring the levels of ketones in the body, which are produced when the body utilizes fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates, especially during periods of low carbohydrate availability and prolonged exercise. Such testing helps athletes monitor and optimize their training, nutrition, and performance by providing insights into their body's energy utilization and potential metabolic adaptations.
