Study 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.

Primary Outcome

Will measure shifts in metabolites following 75-km cycling while ingesting bananas or 6% carbohydrate beverage. The shift in metabolites will be assessed using GC-MS. Time frame from date of randomization until the last samples are collected and analyzed will be up to six months.
