Scientists test if working out on an empty tank sharpens your mind

NCT ID NCT05919979

Summary

This small, completed pilot study aimed to understand how a tough workout during a long fast affects the body's energy use and mental sharpness. Researchers had 25 healthy young adults fast for 24-34 hours, sometimes doing high-intensity exercise, to measure changes in metabolism and thinking tests. The goal was to gather basic knowledge, not to treat any disease.
