Effects of Time-Restricted Feeding on Supramaximal Exercise Performance and Body Composition: A Randomized and Counterbalanced Crossover Study in Healthy Men

Using a crossover design, we explored the effects of both short- and long-term time-restricted feeding (TRF) vs. regular diet on Wingate (WnT) performance body composition in well-trained young men. Twelve healthy male physical education students were included (age: 22.4 ± 2.8 years, height: 174.0 7.1 cm, mass: 73.6 9.5 kg, mass index: 24.2 2.0 kg/m2). The order dieting was randomized counterbalanced, all participants served as their own controls. TRF limited to an 8-h eating window non-TRF involved customary meal pattern. Participants performed WnT tests scans at baseline, post-one post-four weeks assigned diet. Before testing, asked fill out dietary record over four consecutive days instructed continue habitual training throughout study. Energy intake macronutrient distribution similar baseline conditions. mean power total work output increased TRF. Both conditions similarly effective increasing fat-free after intervention. However, there no correlation between change did not elicit any changes or one week post-intervention. Thus, can be used combination with improve supramaximal exercise
