Pork protein for firefighter recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating pork protein helps firefighters recover faster after physically demanding fireground simulations. If you join, you'll eat provided meals and avoid certain pain relievers before testing, so we can see how your body responds.
