Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of ingesting a low glycemic whey protein energy bar prior, during and following resistance exercise and conditioning on performance and recovery.

Detailed description

Fit-joy is a commercially available food bar marketed as having a low glycemic index and being relatively high in dietary fiber. The fiber contained within this product is isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO) which is a food ingredient with a relative sweetness level equal to approximately 60% of sucrose. Chemically, IMO is a mixture of glucose oligomers with alpha - (1-6) - linkages. Short and hard exercise produces muscle damage and soreness. The Fit-joy bar contains whey protein that previous research in the investigator's lab showed may be able to decrease the muscle damaging effects of exercise while also helping with muscle growth. The purpose of this study will be to determine if eating a Fit-joy bar before and in the middle of a hard weight training workout will promote positive results during the workout and 48 hours after the workout.
