Abstract: The effect of macronutrient composition of pre-exercise meals on exercise metabolism and performance is determined. It was concluded that the consumption of a pre-exercise meal has minor effects on fat oxidation during high-intensity exercise, and no effect on carbohydrate oxidation or TT performance.
