Female Volunteers Needed for a Non-Invasive

‘Breath-Test’ Research Study

PURPOSE

To validate the use of a non-invasive ‘breath test’ by determining the impact of protein feeding alone or combined with resistance exercise on the body’s ability to use dietary protein.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

• Healthy, young females (18-35 years)
• Eumenorrheic (experiencing regular periods for at least the past 3 months)
• BMI ≥18.5 kg/m² and ≤ 30 kg/m²
• Recreationally active, currently performing structured exercise (e.g., running, weightlifting, team-sport activity) at least once per week for ≥ 6 months before enrolment
• Abstain from the use of oral contraceptives

WHAT’S INVOLVED?

• 3 in person-sessions (~15 hours total)
  • Body composition assessment and resistance exercise familiarization
  • Full-body resistance exercise (one session)
  • Consumption of a protein beverage (two sessions)
  • Breath sampling (two sessions)
  • Urine Sampling (two sessions)

WHERE?

• The Iovate/Muscletech Metabolism and Sports Science Lab at the University of Toronto’s Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

• An opportunity to make a difference in the scientific community
• Financial compensation for your time and effort ($50)
