The anthropometric and biochemical parameters, compared to a ketogenic diet

Body composition influences the performance in endurance sports. An optimal ration of Strength: Power to the body mass is very important for athletes. The Endurance supports demands low body fat percentage and high lean mass. The dietary modifications and training schedules plans pivot role in achieving the desired body composition. Keto diet is proven to reduce body weight and fat mass while maintaining fat free mass by making shift in substrate oxidation towards fatty acids. It is well known that food with low glycemic index decreases postprandial insulin secretion thereby increases fat oxidation. Keeping the facts in mind, this study was planned to evaluate the effects of 10 weeks of endurance training, a high carbohydrate diet with a low glycemic index results in comparable changes in the Anthropometric and Biochemical Parameters, compared to a ketogenic diet. Methods: This is a 10 weeks of an interventional study design with five Running Session per week. A total of 57 Recreational Active Runners were enrolled for the study. The Mean Age group of enrolled subjects was 27.3+ 5.3 years. Vo2 max was measured by bicycle ergometer. The means Vo2 max was 56.7 + 6.5 ml/min /kg. Three groups were made. Group A: (n=19) LOW GI Diet: less than 65% of low glycemic CHO daily. Group B: (n=19) HIGH GI Diet: more than 65% of low glycemic CHO daily. Group C: (n=19) Low CHO High Fat Diet: more than 65% of Fats, less than 50 gms CHO daily. Body Fat Analysis was done by Bioelectrical Impedance Testing. Graded Exercise Testing by using Bicycle Ergometer.
