The Effects of a Train High, Sleep Low Strategy

The Effects of a Train High, Sleep Low Strategy on Performance, Substrate Utilization and Muscular Adaptations in Moderately Trained Cyclists

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 18-45 years
• VO2-max>55 ml/kg/min
• No smokers
• Training 6 hours per week (cycling)
• Training experience for more than 3 years.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Less than 2 g carbohydrate/kg/day
