No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Recent work has established biological rhythms in human skeletal muscle. It remains unknown how the timing and pattern of meals influences these rhythms. Therefore, this study sets out to establish how frequent (CONSTANT) vs infrequent (BOLUS) feeding patterns influence established biological rhythms in skeletal muscle.

Conditions

  • Circadian Rhythms
  • Feeding Patterns

Interventions

OTHER

Constant

Participants will be provided with their daily energy requirements in a continuous drip across the day (1 ml/minute).

OTHER

Bolus

Participants will be provided with their daily energy requirements in two bolus feeds. One at 08:00-08:15 and one at 20:00-20:15
