title: Dietary fat and physical performance.
abstract: Although the relationship between dietary carbohydrate and physical performance is well described, there is much controversy about the relationship between dietary fat and physical performance. Recently, several studies have tried to clarify this relationship. Here the effects of acute fat on metabolism and performance will be discussed, as well as the effects of short-term and long-term high-fat diets.
