Description

This protocol involves the consumption of Base Ketones during training sessions and on non-training days to observe its effects on cyclists' late race endurance and energy. On training days, participants will consume the ketone product every 30-60 minutes during training prior to a race. On non-training days, participants will consume 2-3 servings throughout the day to support recovery and maintain energy levels.

Rational & Study Design

Why I created this study:

It's no secret that cyclists are always on the hunt for that extra edge, and the buzz around ketones as a performance enhancer has reached a fever pitch. Academic research suggests ketones might improve endurance and energy, but definitive answers are elusive. Social media is rife with claims of miraculous gains, yet scientific consensus is lacking. This study aims to fill that gap by evaluating Base Ketones’ impact on performance metrics like V02 Max and sleep quality. By conducting this research, we hope to provide cyclists with definitive evidence about the efficacy of ketones in enhancing endurance and energy levels.

My Objective for You:

My objective is to empower you with personalized insights on how Base Ketones can potentially transform your cycling performance. Through rigorous testing, we'll measure changes in your V02 Max and sleep quality, providing data-driven insights. Imagine crossing the finish line with newfound energy and resilience, all backed by empirical evidence. This study isn't just about gathering data; it's about helping you unlock your peak performance and make informed decisions about your training regimen.

Aims & Objectives:

This study aims to assess how Base Ketones impact endurance and energy levels in cyclists, specifically focusing on V02 Max and sleep quality. Participants will receive personalized results, allowing them to understand the direct impact of Base Ketones on their performance, ultimately informing future training and nutrition choices to maximize their cycling potential.

Significance & Impact:

The significance of this study lies in its potential to demystify the role of ketones in cycling performance, providing cyclists with concrete evidence on their efficacy. Expected outcomes include enhanced endurance and energy during races, with possible improvements in sleep quality. While limitations include individual variability and external factors affecting performance, this study holds the promise of transforming how cyclists approach nutrition and training, offering valuable insights for both enthusiasts and professionals aiming to optimize their cycling experience.
