Eccentric exercise and dietary intake
An honours project at the 69传媒 is being performed on the effects of eccentric and concentric leg press exercises on dietary intake, delayed onset muscle soreness, muscle swelling, and physical activity.
Participants are asked to visit the 69传媒Fitness Centre 4 times. The first will be gathering baseline data, while the second, third and fourth will involve workouts on a leg press, or a rest day. You will be asked to track your diet for 72 hours, as well as appetite and soreness after each visit. You will also be asked to wear a pedometer for 72 hours after each trial. It is expected each session will last roughly 1 hour.
