Cross-sectional study highlights metabolic stress impacts from prolonged cycling in youth athletes, suggesting the need for regular biochemical assessments.
These results highlight the pronounced acute metabolic stress induced by prolonged cycling, including protein catabolism, lipid mobilization, electrolyte shifts, and altered carbohydrate metabolism. Regular biochemical assessment is recommended to optimize training, performance, and athlete safety.
