“So they trained trained really hard for one week. Uh and it was a randomized double blinded crossover study. So they trained like a one week super hard training. So it was basically 4 minute or 8 minute build to max intervals every day for one week. And I mean the intent was to uh to get them tired, slightly overreached and uh then let them recover for a few days and see how they bounce back.”
“So say the cycle at 250 watts or something if they had a threshold there. So after this tough week, they actually had a higher lactate level at the same workload when they got the placebo just because they didn't adapt to the training. But when they got the isotyanates in the normal drink, it was lower. So it was a big big difference there uh between how they responded.”
“They were given a like a small like a small experimental scar like in the like in the mouth somewhere. And they they done did that twice. So once was uh during you know summer break or whatever and once was before final exams. And they found out, okay, so during the exam period, the wound actually healed much slower than when you were not stressed. And that is, you know, so it's your mental stress levels, they will affect your physiological ability to recover.”
