Exercise Intensity and Fuel Selection - Carbohydrates vs Fats

This video shows Dr. Evan Matthews explaining how exercise intensity impacts the proportion of metabolic substrate that is carbohydrates vs fats. Also described in this video is why “fat burning zone” is not that useful. This video is part of a series of videos that will cover exercise metabolism. The playlist to that series is listed below.
