Why would you assume that?


Not an assumption, more an idea looking for contradiction or confirmation,
hence the post formulated as a question.

It was just a cross between my vague recollection of something I'd read
about the role of adrenalin in both fat metabolism and reaction times (maybe
my last remaining, shriveled neuron is playing up on me :-) and a personal
experience of a keen sharpness during the second half of the Sand Marathon
(one week running in the Sahara desert, av 40km / day, with a 8kg backpack,
3kg of water and ~2400 calories/day)
