Study Summary

This trial will test if restricting eating to early hours can improve muscle strength/endurance and body composition in adults who exercise regularly. Outcomes will be monitored for 6 weeks.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 18-50 who are not underweight (BMI ≥ 18.5) and have been doing resistance training at least twice a week for over a year. It's not suitable for current smokers, those with recent major health issues like cancer or heart disease, diagnosed eating disorders, or anyone on restrictive diets.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if eating within an early time-restricted window affects muscle performance in people who lift weights regularly. Participants will either follow the restricted eating plan or continue normal eating while maintaining their exercise routine over six weeks.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include changes in hunger and fullness levels, alterations in sleep quality, and possible challenges to energy intake and diet quality due to the restricted eating timeframe.

Answered by AI

Are there still vacancies for people wishing to participate in this experiment?

"Affirmative, clinicaltrials.gov currently details that this research is actively recruiting volunteers. This medical trial, which was initially posted on February 20th 2023 has a goal of 40 participants at 1 site."

Answered by AI

What are the primary ambitions that this clinical trial seeks to accomplish?

"This 6-week trial aims to measure muscular endurance. Secondary objectives are the evaluation of hunger and satiety by means of a Hunger and Satiety Visual Analog Scale (from 0 to 10, with higher score indicating more hunger/less satisfaction), sleep quality using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale (scores from 0 to 21; worse sleep is associated with greater scores) and total calorie intake based on 24-hour food recall survey leveraging Automated Self-Administered 24-hour software."

Answered by AI

What is the aggregate amount of subjects involved in this research endeavor?
