Those dual roles are particularly useful for those who engage in intense physical exercise or activities, since the fatty-acid sourced energy itself fuels the performance, of course, but also helps preserve muscle glycogen levels (which prevents muscle damage, when the muscle tissues themselves get broken down to supply energy), and also inhibits the build-up of lactic acid (one of the primary causes of fatigue and delayed onset muscle soreness)
This effect is coupled with an increase in beta-adrenergic receptors, heightened adenosine transport, and enhanced phosphorylation within myocardial cells

They occur usually with an increase in intensity or duration of training
These insights allow us to develop a safe, personalized treatment plan while identifying any potential risks
