How changing diet affects metabolism in endurance athletes
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how changing what you eat affects your body's energy use for endurance athletes. If you join, you'll follow a special diet for a while, and researchers will measure how your body responds during exercise, with the goal of helping athletes fuel better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
