Summary

This study compared the acute effect of ingesting bananas (BAN) versus a 6% carbohydrate drink (CHO) on 75-km cycling performance and post-exercise inflammation, oxidative stress, and innate immune function using traditional and metabolomics-based profiling.

Conditions

  • Intense Exercise

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Bananas versus 6% carbohydrate beverage

Trained cyclists (N=14) completed two 75-km cycling time trials (randomized, crossover) while ingesting BAN or CHO (0.2 g/kg carbohydrate every 15 min).
