Interventions

Yerba mate infusion OTHER

Yerba mate infusion intervention is characterized by the consumption of the infusion of yerba mate for 7 days preceding the test, with consumption of the infusion right before the exercise protocol test, without consumption of a carbohydrate-based meal, keeping the individual fasted. Yerba mate and carbohydrate intervention is characterized by the consumption of the infusion of yerba mate for 7 days preceding the test, with consumption of a meal based on carbohydrate right before the exercise protocol test with another infusion of yerba mate.
