Effect of Early Eating and BCAA Supplementation on Body Composition
Effect of Early Time Restricted Eating and BCAA Supplementation vs. Early Time Restricted Eating Alone on Body Composition
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of early with BCAA supplementation (5.6g) and early time restricted eating alone on body composition in overweight and obese young adults. It is hypothesized that early time restricted eating with BCAA will provide a more desirable effect (lower fat mass and greater lean mass) on body composition for the participants.
The sample will include 28 overweight/obese young adults, male and female, ranging in age from 18-39 that volunteer to participate in the study. This sample size is justified assuming a standard deviation of 1.5 based on previous studies and using a power of 80% with the statistical significance of 0.05 the resulting n would be 2(1.5)^2*(0.84+1.96)^2/5=7 (Kadam, P., & Bhalerao, S. (2010). Sample size calculation. International journal of Ayurveda research, 1(1), 55). To account for dropouts/non-interest in participation, 14 matched participants will be recruited for each group. All individuals must give written informed consent in order to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria include self-reported: diabetes, smoking, CVD, pregnancy, weight loss medication, physical activity level greater than low/sedentary (7500 steps daily), unstable weight (>4kg loss/gain) for 3 months prior to study commencement.
All participants will be required to have their Body Composition measured using non-invasive densitometry (BodPod). The procedure poses no risk to the participant and takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. This procedure will take place initially one week prior to study commencement and then every 4 weeks after study commencement until the 12 weeks of the study duration are complete. This results in a total of 4 measurements. Upper body strength measurements will be recorded one week prior to commencement of the study and once again after study completion using a 3-rep maximal bench press test. Lower body strength measurements will be recorded one week prior to commencement of the study and once again after study completion using a 3-rep maximal leg press test. Completion of a health-related quality of life questionnaire one week prior to commencement of the study and once again after study completion is also required.
One week prior to study commencement participants will come to the Exercise Nutrition Research Laboratory and initial body composition will be recorded along with baseline upper body strength, lower body strength and health-related quality of life scores. Once the study has commenced, participants will adhere to the daily time windows depending on which group they are randomly assigned. The early time restricted eating with BCAA (5.6g) group will begin their food intake at 0800 h and finish at 1600 h. The early time restricted eating group alone will begin their caloric intake at 0800 h and finish at 1600 h. During the fasting window participants are encouraged to drink plenty of fluids (ad libitum) BUT they must not contain calories, artificial sweeteners or caffeine. Participants will also notify Reed Zehr through email of adherence to their timing windows on a weekly basis. Body composition measurements will take place every 4 weeks upon study commencement. Upon completion of the study, participants will return to the Exercise Nutrition Research Laboratory and final measurements will be recorded of body composition, upper body strength, lower body strength, and health-related quality of life using the same procedure initially.
