NCT ID NCT06683625

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 27 elite Polish rowers to see how intense exercise changes brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, and how these relate to energy levels and stress. Researchers measured these chemicals and asked athletes about their mood and recovery before, right after, and one hour after a tough workout. The goal was to understand how energy availability affects performance and recovery, which could help design better training plans.
