Protein Supplements Boost Women's Training in Fasting, Low-Carb Exercise
New research suggests that women may benefit from using protein supplements during overnight fasting, carbohydrate-restricted exercise. However, the effects on men are less clear, and further studies are needed to understand the long-term impacts.
A recent study found that protein hydrolysate supplements enhanced training intensity for women engaged in overnight fasting, carbohydrate-restricted exercise. This type of training, often used in endurance sports, typically involves low carbohydrate intake before and during workouts. The supplements did not have the same effect on men, instead increasing their perceived effort.
The study's authors, whose names were not provided, noted that the findings are specific to overnight fasting, carbohydrate-restricted exercise and may not apply to racing nutrition. They also highlighted the need for future research to determine the long-term effects of such supplements.
In summary, protein hydrolysate supplements may aid women in intense training during overnight fasting, carbohydrate-restricted exercise. However, men should be cautious as these supplements might increase their perceived effort. More research is required to understand the long-term impacts and broader applications of these findings.
