Purpose: To examine the effect on short-duration, high-intensity cycling time-trial (TT) performance when a semisolid breakfast containing carbohydrate (CHO) or a taste- and texture-matched placebo is ingested 90 min preexercise compared with a water (WAT) control.
Methods: A total of 13 well-trained cyclists (mean [SD]: age = 25 [8] y, body mass = 71.1 [5.9] kg, height = 1.76 [0.04] m, maximum power output = 383 [46] W, and peak oxygen uptake = 4.42 [0.53] L·min) performed 3 experimental trials examining breakfast ingestion 90 min before a 10-min steady-state cycle (60% maximum power output) and an ∼20-min TT (to complete a workload target of 376 [36] kJ). Subjects consumed either WAT, a semisolid CHO breakfast (2 g carbohydrate CHO·kg body mass), or a taste- and texture-matched placebo (PLA). Blood lactate and glucose concentrations were measured periodically throughout the rest and exercise periods.
Results: The TT was completed more quickly in CHO (1120 [69] s; P = .006) and PLA (1112 [50] s; P = .030) compared with WAT (1146 [74] s). Ingestion of CHO caused an increase in blood glucose concentration throughout the rest period in CHO (peak at 30-min rest = 7.37 [1.10] mmol·L; P < .0001) before dropping below baseline levels after the steady-state cycling.
Conclusion: A short-duration cycling TT was completed more quickly when subjects perceived that they had consumed breakfast (PLA or CHO) 90 min prior to the start of the exercise. The improvement in performance is likely attributable to a psychological rather than physiological effect.

: It is unknown whether the negative health effects associated with ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are due to their nutritional composition or to the extent of food processing itself. We evaluated the impact of a test meal composed only of UPF, according to the NOVA classification, compared to a similar meal without UPF in adults with obesity. : This is a parallel, randomized trial.

Article Synopsis
- CLOCK is a transcription factor that influences biological rhythms and has been linked to various factors such as sleep patterns and obesity, but research on its effect on adolescents' dietary habits is limited.
- A study involving 300 adolescents explored the relationship between specific CLOCK gene polymorphisms (rs3749474, rs4580704, and rs1801260) and their impacts on weight, dietary energy intake, and meal frequency.
- Results showed that certain gene variants were associated with increased risks of obesity, higher energy intake, snacking habits, and a correlation between breakfast frequency and BMI, indicating the potential influence of genetics on adolescent dietary behaviors and metabolism.
Introduction And Objective: Dietary habits may be an essential modulator affecting diet-related cognitive decline. One hopes that their identification will allow opening the use of new approaches for the management of the prevention and treatment of patients with mild cognitive disorders and maintaining a good quality of life. The aim of the research was to characterize dietary habits in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Older people represent approximately 20% of the Polish population and are the primary population using medications. Behaviours connected with drug intake (such as dosage form modifications, type and amount of fluid and/or food accompanying administration) are crucial for drug efficacy and avoidance of adverse effects. The presented study had three research aims; firstly, to investigate the real-life drug administration process among older adults and geriatric patients in Poland.
