Background: Although water intake (WI) is commonly estimated through self-reporting, its inaccuracy is reported. Water turnover (rHO)-derived WI is the reference method; however, it is costly. The study aimed to validate alternative methods for determining WI in a group of athletes.

- The study explored how time-restricted eating (TRE) affects endurance runners' aerobic capacity, body composition, and metabolic health over four weeks compared to their usual diet.
- Participants were 15 male physical education students at the University of Lisbon, who underwent assessments including exercise tests and body scans in a randomized crossover design.
- During TRE, participants limited their meals to an 8-hour window and consumed only non-caloric beverages outside this period, while maintaining a structured training routine throughout both dietary conditions.
Introduction: Behavioral compensations may occur as a response to a negative energy balance. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between changes in energy intake (EI) and changes in physical activity (PA, min/day; kcal/d) as a response to a weight loss (WL) intervention and to understand if interindividual differences occur in EI and energy expenditure (EE).
Methods: Eighty-one participants [mean (SD): age = 42.
Background/objectives: Accurate assessments of energy intake (EI) are needed in lifestyle interventions to guarantee a negative energy balance (EB), thereby losing weight. This study aimed (1) to compare objectively measured and self-reported EI and (2) to determine the predictors of underreporting divided by sex, adiposity and BMI category.
Methods: Seventy-three participants [mean (SD): 43.
This study examined the effects of four weeks of resistance training combined with time-restricted eating (TRE) vs. habitual diet on fat and fat-free mass as well as maximum and explosive force production in healthy, trained participants (18 males, aged 23.7 ± 2.
