The Claim
In trained adult males, total carbohydrate oxidation during a single session of high-intensity circuit training is significantly greater than during moderate-intensity continuous training, with measured rates of 32.92 mg/kg/min and 12.98 mg/kg/min respectively, indicating a greater reliance on glycolytic energy systems during high-intensity exercise.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When fit guys do intense circuit workouts, their bodies burn way more carbs during the workout compared to when they do steady, moderate exercise — like 33 vs 13 carbs per minute for every kilo they weigh.

In trained adult males, the total carbohydrate oxidation during a single session of high-intensity circuit training is significantly greater than during moderate-intensity continuous training, with cumulative rates of 32.92 mg/kg/min versus 12.98 mg/kg/min, reflecting the greater reliance on glycolytic energy systems during high-intensity efforts.
