Exercise First, Eat Later

摘要

The pain of early morning exercise may have a benefit for athletes, with evidence that those who train before breakfast get more benefit than those who eat first.rnConventional advice is that athletes should eat before training, but A/Prof Steve Stannard of Massey University is not surprised that his research found otherwise. "Training is all about putting the body under stress, not going faster," Stannard says. "So by starting out with less fuel, you will reach the point where you really begin to stress the body quicker. This means you will spend longer under stress, and ultimately the training will be more beneficial."
