Abstract

AbstractPurposeCarbohydrate (CHO) intake periodization via the sleep low train low (SL‐TL) diet–exercise model increases fat oxidation during exercise and may enhance endurance‐training adaptation and performance. Conversely, training under environmental heat stress increases CHO oxidation, but the potential of combined SL‐TL and heat stress to enhance metabolic and performance outcomes is unknown.MethodsTwenty‐three endurance‐trained males were randomly assigned to either control (n = 7, CON), SL‐TL (n = 8, SLTemp) or SL‐TL + heat stress (n = 8, SLHeat) groups and prescribed identical 2‐week cycling training interventions. CON and SLTemp completed all sessions at 20°C, but SLHeat at 35°C. All groups consumed matched CHO intake (6 g·kg−1·day−1) but timed differently to promote low CHO availability overnight and during morning exercise in both SL groups. Submaximal substrate utilization was assessed (at 20°C), and 30‐min performance tests (at 20 and 35°C) were performed Pre‐, Post‐, and 1‐week post‐intervention (Post+1).ResultsSLTemp improved fat oxidation rates at 60% MAP (~66% VO2peak) at Post+1 compared with CON (p < 0.01). Compared with SLTemp, fat oxidation rates were significantly lower in SLHeat at Post (p = 0.02) and Post+1 (p < 0.05). Compared with CON, performance was improved at Post in SLTemp in temperate conditions. Performance was not different between any groups or time points in hot conditions.ConclusionSL‐TL enhanced metabolic adaptation and performance compared with CON and combined SL‐TL and heat stress. Additional environmental heat stress may impair positive adaptations associated with SL‐TL.
