AB  - Compared  with  the  finite  stores  of  carbohydrate  (CHO),  endogenous  fat  depots  in  humans  are  large,  and  represent  a  potentially  unlimited  source  of  fuel  for  skeletal  muscle  metabolism  during  aerobic  exercise.  However,  fatty  acid  (FA)  oxidation  by  muscle  is  limited,  especially  during  the  high  power  outputs  and  intensities  sustained  by  athletes  in  training  and  competition.  It  has  been  proposed  that  strategies  that  promote  FA  oxidation  during  exercise  could  attenuate  the  rate  of  muscle  glycogen  utilisation  and  improve  sports  performance;  this  is  one  of  the  key  adaptations  achieved  by  aerobic  training.  This  chapter  reviews  a  variety  of  approaches  that  have  been  attempted  to  achieve  this  goal,  with  particular  focus  on  the  low-carbohydrate  high-fat  (LCHF)  diet,  which  has  been  enthusiastically  revived  in  recent  times.  As  background  to  this  interest,  it  is  important  to  understand  the  role  of  endogenous  fat  as  an  energy  substrate  for  skeletal  muscle  during  exercise,  the  effect  of  exercise  intensity  on  the  regulation  of  fat  metabolism,  and  the  processes  that  could  limit  FA  during  exercise.
