Summary

The investigators will examine the long-term effects of a combined training and diet intervention that, acutely, increases fat oxidation during exercise. This is done with a 4 week intervention study with moderately trained cyclists. Performance is tested pre and post intervention and muscle biopsies are obtained.

Conditions

• Cycling Performance
• Muscular Adaptations
• Substrate Utilization

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Combined exercise and diet intervention	Both groups exercise 6 times per week in 4 weeks conducted as 3 evening and 3 morning sessions per week. Both groups receive dietary products to be consumed immediately before and after each evening and morning session, respectively.
