Popis: Purpose Whole-body fat oxidation during exercise can be measured non-invasively during athlete profiling. Gaps in understanding exist in the relationships between fat oxidation during incremental fasted exercise and skeletal muscle parameters, endurance performance, and fat oxidation during prolonged fed-state exercise. Methods Seventeen endurance-trained males underwent a (i) fasted, incremental cycling test to assess peak whole-body fat oxidation (PFO), (ii) resting vastus lateralis microbiopsy, and (iii) 30-min maximal-effort cycling time-trial preceded by 2-h of fed-state moderate-intensity cycling to assess endurance performance and fed-state metabolism on separate occasions within one week. Results PFO (0.58 ± 0.28 g.min−1) was associated with vastus lateralis citrate synthase activity (69.2 ± 26.0 μmol.min−1.g−1 muscle protein, r = 0.84, 95% CI 0.58, 0.95, P
