About This Trial
Many individuals engage in fasting for its purported health benefits but the effects of fasting on immune cell and whole body metabolism are not well understood in humans. Moreover, how exercising during a prolonged fast impacts immunometabolic outcomes is unclear. This study will determine how a 2 day fast - performed with or without daily exercise - impacts immune cell bioenergetics, immune cell…
