简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of added probiotic cultures to a carbohydrate + protein recovery beverage compared to a similar recovery beverage without probiotic cultures, in its ability to impact endurance performance, perceived ratings of gastrointestinal symptoms and markers of inflammation and intestinal damage.
详细描述
In a randomized, crossover fashion, the investigators will assess changes in exercise performance, gastrointestinal symptom rating scale scores, as well as interleukin-6 and intestinal fatty-acid binding protein levels following consumption of either water, kefir or flavored milk.
