Ketones

Explore our lecture on “Ketones” with Professor Javier Gonzalez. In this session, Javier examines what ketones are, how they are produced or supplemented, and the main theories behind why they might influence exercise performance, recovery, or physiology. He also evaluates the evidence for ketones as fuels and signalling molecules, highlights the practical limitations and side effects of ketone supplements, and considers whether they currently have a meaningful place in applied sport nutrition.

What we will cover:
   What are ketones, and how are they produced in the body?
   What are the theories how ketones might influence performance?
   Do ketones increase efficiency or spare glycogen and protein?
   Can ketones act as signalling molecules that affect adaptation?
  What conclusions can be drawn about ketone supplementation?
