Summary
This study looked at how eating fewer calories to lose weight affects your body's ability to recover after weightlifting. Eight people with at least three years of weight training experience took part. Researchers measured things like jumping ability, strength, and how many reps they could do. The goal was to understand if low energy availability makes it harder to bounce back from exercise.
