Ketone supplements and carbs for cycling performance
This study tests whether taking ketone supplements with carbohydrates can help trained cyclists improve their performance when riding above a certain intensity level (called the lactate threshold). It may help you understand how to fuel your training better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
