研究概览
简要总结
Investigators specific aims are to compare the effects of consuming daily snacks of raw, shelled, unsalted almonds (2.0 ounces) versus an isocaloric amount of another commonly consumed snack food (pretzels) on energy (vigor) perception and physical activity, exercise performance (VO2max and measures of strength), strength and power performance as well as muscle soreness recovery after strenuous eccentrically-biased exercise.
详细描述
To accomplish these aims, investigators will examine whether regular consumption of almonds versus a common snack food over a period of 8 weeks impacts longer term metabolic, physiological and behavioral responses related to energy sensations and exercise capacity/performance.
