Physiological Testing for Athletes
Creating a physiological test for athletes aims to evaluate if the body crosses the fat and carbohydrate thresholds during exercise. The test involves gradually increasing intensity over time, focusing on the lower limits instead of the upper limits. The results indicate that approximately 60% of athletes tested are primarily burning carbohydrates even at lower intensities, which may lead to health concerns such as high fasting blood sugar and elevated HBA1C levels.
