Comparative Effects of Low Glycemic Index, High Glycemic Index, and Ketogenic Diets on Body Composition, Fat Analysis and Vo2 max in Endurance Athletes over 12 weeks

The pursuit of excellence in endurance sports necessities a holistic approach that integrates meticulous training programming with precise nutritional interventions. Despite the proposed mechanistic benefits of dietary strategies, a critical dearth of direct comparative evidence exists. The current literatures characterized by studies investigating these diets in isolation, often with heterogenous participants or non-standardized training interventions.

Therefore, the study has been planned to bridge this gap by conducting a randomized controlled trial to compare the effects of these three dietary approaches combined with a periodized endurance training program on body composition, aerobic capacity and metabolic health in trained endurance athlete.
