The Effects of 31-Day Exogenous Ketone Consumption on Running Performance, Cognitive Function, Metabolism, Body Composition, Hemodynamics, and Mood in Recreational Runners: A Randomized-Control Trial
High-dose KME administration for 31-days did not alter running performance, but increased cognitive function and oxygen uptake during maximal graded exercise even after ketone administration stopped, indicating that selected physiological measures differed between groups when assessed after the supplementation period.
