Summary

This study provides participants with two diets that vary in their glycaemic index values (low vs. high), whilst also measuring cognitive performance and mood.

Detailed description

Therefore, the current study introduces cognitive testing into study procedures. Participants will consume the favourable and unfavourable conditions (each containing three meals) on separate days following a crossover, randomised, couterbalanced design. The primary dependent variable is cognitive function, whilst secondary measures include glucose and mood. It is hypothesised that the favourable meal profile will be associated with cognitive and physiological benefits relative to the unfavourable meal profile.

Conditions

• Cognitive Performance
• Glucose, Low Blood
• Glucose, High Blood
• Mood

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Low Glycaemic Diet	This intervention was a diet that provided participants with three meals with a low GI value. These meals were breakfast (9am), lunch (midday) and a snack (3pm).
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	High Glycaemic Diet	This intervention was a diet that provided participants with three meals with a high GI value. These meals were breakfast (9am), lunch (midday) and a snack (3pm).
