Nighttime Feeding and Morning Endurance Performance
Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Poor Performance Status
In brief
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of a nighttime feeding on next morning running performance, hydration status, and exercise metabolism in female endurance athletes. Specifically, the effect of a chocolate milk beverage will be examined versus a non-nutritive, flavor-matched placebo. The investigators hypothesize that the nighttime consumption of chocolate milk, a whole food complex, will result in improved next morning running performance versus placebo. Secondarily, the investigators hypothesize that any potential positive performance outcomes from the chocolate milk treatment may be due to an enhanced pre-exercise hydration status or improved exercise metabolism.
