SOURCE-LINKED STUDY SUMMARY
Time-restricted feeding plus resistance training in active females: a randomized trial.
Full paper summarizedQuality not appraised
- What was studied
- This randomized trial tested whether an eight-hour daily eating window, with or without HMB, changed resistance-training adaptations.
- Who / model studied
- Forty resistance-trained women aged 18–30 entered the intention-to-treat analysis; 24 completed the per-protocol analysis.
- Studied dose & schedule
- For eight weeks, all groups performed supervised resistance training three days weekly and used whey protein. TRF groups ate from noon to 8 PM; one also received 3 g/day HMB, while controls followed a longer eating schedule.
- What the study found
- Fat-free mass rose about 2%–3%, muscle thickness and performance improved, and groups did not differ. Fat-mass differences appeared per protocol but not by intention to treat; HMB added no definitive benefit.
- Limitations & context
- Diet records and eating-window adherence were not objectively verified; the small, female-only sample and eight-week duration limit generalization.
