Intermittent Fasting - What Is It and Does It Work?

Abstract

Intermittent fasting has become increasingly popular within the past 5 years. Based on the research, it seems to be beneficial, not only to weight loss, but with respect to cardiometabolic risk. Although it may lead to positive results, the effects on exercise training and performance have not been well-studied. More research with respect to the different types of fasting on exercise performance is warranted.
