Effects of eight weeks of time-restricted feeding (16/8) on basal metabolism maximal strength body composition inflammation and cardiovascular risk factors in resistance-trained males

摘要

BackgroundIntermittent fasting (IF) is an increasingly popular dietary approach used for weight loss and overall health. While there is an increasing body of evidence demonstrating beneficial effects of IF on blood lipids and other health outcomes in the overweight and obese, limited data are available about the effect of IF in athletes. Thus, the present study sought to investigate the effects of a modified IF protocol (i.e. time-restricted feeding) during resistance training in healthy resistance-trained males.
