Strategies for Becoming More Fat Adapted in Training
Athletes may have a genetic predisposition to utilize fats or carbohydrates as fuel sources, which can significantly impact their training and nutritional strategies. Those who are carb adapted may experience energy crashes without frequent carbohydrate intake. To enhance fat adaptation, it is crucial to incorporate fasted training sessions, encouraging the body to utilize stored fat instead of relying solely on carbohydrates. Training in specific heart rate zones, particularly zone one and zone two, can further increase fat adaptation by promoting efficiency at lower exertion levels. Many athletes might inadvertently push harder during workouts, inadvertently training in zone three and relying more on glycogen. The key takeaway is to slow down training intensity to foster better fat utilization and improve overall athletic performance.
