The Effect of a Ketogenic Diet on the Exercise Induced Immune Response

A cross‐over intervention study, with a total duration of 6 weeks. An athlete follows a high, or low carbohydrate (ketogenic) diet. After 2 days a test day takes place where the athlete performs an exercise test and blood samples are taken at different time points. After that, the athlete continues following the diet for another 12 days, after which he comes back again for another identical test day. Then a 2 weeks wash‐out period. After that, the athlete follows the same protocol but then with either the low (ketogenic), or high carbohydrate diet.
