ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different recovery strategies can improve physical performance and overall health in young, active males. The researchers want to find out if taking longer breaks between exercise sessions or doing less exercise can help participants recover better and perform better in physical activities. The study will also look at changes in blood and urine tests to see if they can indicate how well someone is recovering after exercise.

To participate, you should be a healthy, physically active male between the ages of 18 and 30, and you need to be eligible for a security course at the Ministry of Defense. Over 8 weeks, you will be randomly placed into one of three groups: one will follow a standard exercise routine, another will do slightly less exercise, and the third will do the same amount of exercise but with longer rest periods. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor your heart rate, body composition, and physical performance through various tests. This trial is a great opportunity to contribute to research that could help improve exercise practices for better health!
