Study Arms (4)

Time restricted eating (TRE) - two month

EXPERIMENTAL

partecipants underwent 2 months of a TRE protocol, during which they consumed 100% of the daily energy needs in an 8-hour time window: from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Body composition, muscle strength and blood parameters were measured before and after the diet intervention.

Other: Time restricted eating

Normal Diet (ND) - two month

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

partecipants underwent 2 months of a regular diet schedule and consumed 100% of the daily energy needs in 3 meals between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Body composition, muscle strength and blood parameters were measured before and after the diet intervention.

Other: Normal Diet

Time restricted eating (TRE) - twelve month

EXPERIMENTAL

partecipants underwent 12 months of a TRE protocol, during which they consumed 100% of the daily energy needs in an 8-hour time window: from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Body composition, muscle strength and blood parameters were measured before and after the diet intervention.

Other: Time restricted eating

Normal Diet (ND) - twelve month

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

partecipants underwent 12 months of a regular diet schedule and consumed 100% of the daily energy needs in 3 meals between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Body composition, muscle strength and blood parameters were measured before and after the diet intervention.

Other: Normal Diet

Interventions

Time restricted eating OTHER

TRE subjects consumed 100 % of their energy needs divided into three meals consumed at 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., and fasted for the remaining 16 h per 24-h period.

Time restricted eating (TRE) - twelve month; Time restricted eating (TRE) - two month

Normal Diet OTHER

ND group ingested their caloric intake as three meals consumed at 8 a.m., 1 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Normal Diet (ND) - twelve month; Normal Diet (ND) - two month
