Effect of Nighttime Feeding on Morning Performance in Female Endurance Athletes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating chocolate milk and flavor-matched placebo for Poor Performance Status. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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.
