Maximizing Training-Induced Cellular Adaptation: Training Low, Carb Cycling, Altitude & Hypoxia Training for Athletes
The mitochondria are the cell-constituents where the most relevant aspects of (endurance-)exercise-induced adaptations take place, and hence the main, but not the only target of the strategies highlighted in these assorted "cliff notes". Usually, I am not a fan of writing about review papers (without attached meta-analysis) but in view of popular demand, I am going to give it a try and provide you with the "cliff notes" on the latest review of the theoretical background and practical implications of training with a goal the authors of the paper call "Maximizing Cellular Adaptation to Endurance Exercise in Skeletal Muscle ( Hawley 2018 ). Cliff notes, if you will on surpassing "barriers to [human] performance" - including the 2h mark for a marathon. High-protein diets are for endurance athletes too... if they're higher in carbs than in protein ;-) Practical Protein Oxidation 101 5x More Than the FDA Allows! More Protein ≠ More Sa...
