For a given level of energy output, metabolizing fat requires more oxygen than metabolizing carbohydrates. There are some minor individual differences in efficiency but the basic relationship is true for everyone. That's why you don't see low-carb diets consumed by athletes who compete at the top levels of sports in which VO₂max is a limiting factor. |
