View larger version (15K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1. The time to exhaustion (endurance) is plotted for the percentages of o2max at which the subjects exercised. The data are combinations of the data from selected studies cited in Table 1. The circles represent exercise time for subjects eating a "normal endurance runners diet" consisting of high CHO (60%), but too few calories to meet energy expenditures (25% less than expended). The squares represent subjects who ate an isocaloric diet high in CHOs. The triangles represent data for subjects on an isocaloric diet that consisted of 30% to 65% fat and at least 30% CHOs. The lines through the data were fit by the least squares method. The data for the three diets are significantly different from each other.
