Marathons and prolonged exercise are normally accompanied by muscle and organ damage. The fatigue associated with this exercise sometimes results in an inability to regularly exercise. Researchers compared a keto diet to a normal higher carbohydrate diet which were assessed for the markers of damage over an 8 week period.

As the researchers studied the effect on mice they suggested that further research on humans was appropriate, but offered the hypothesis that it would be reproducible in humans.
