effect of nutritional intake. Later
nutritional intake (2 hours) had an
effect of the same magnitude and a
similar temporal pathway in reduc-

carbohydrates and protein following
the exercise can be beneficial, to the
extent that it mitigates reabsorption
and increases bone formation, con-
tributing to a more benefic
