Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Brain activation patterns (fMRI) pre and post training are the main outcome<br /><br>measures for this study. These will be related to nutrition and performance. In<br /><br>addition, we will assess the degree to which the aforementioned relationship is<br /><br>mediated by inflammation.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
