ketosis and athletic performance
Ketosis refers to a metabolic state where the body primarily burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. It occurs when carbohydrate intake is significantly reduced. Athletic performance, on the other hand, refers to the ability of an individual to perform physical activities effectively and efficiently. The relationship between ketosis and athletic performance is a topic of debate, as some believe that being in ketosis may improve endurance and fat utilization, while others argue that it may negatively impact high-intensity activities that rely on carbohydrates for energy.
