Exercise Training, Microgreens, miRNAs
Conditions
Brief summary
In this study, we investigated the impact of a comprehensive microgreen and wheatgrass juice protocol on the miRNA response following a standardized EIMD model and whether microgreen consumption could modulate key miRNA markers of neuromuscular regeneration and metabolic adaptation, thereby offering a novel nutritional approach to enhancing holistic recovery in athletes.
