Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 50 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: As inclusion criteria participants must be overweight and enroll in the gym with the objective of weight loss and be classified as untrained that is individuals without previous history of resistance training or who have not practiced it for at least twelve uninterrupted months

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: As exclusion criteria all volunteers who present injuries capable of interfering with performance during the experiment will be removed from the sample pregnant women breastfeeding women women attempting to become pregnant individuals with a history or diagnosis of eating disorders as well as those who present previous injuries that prevent the practice of physical exercise will not be accepted in the study participants following a structured diet plan those using medications or ergogenic aids that may influence muscle strength such as testosterone and growth hormone individuals with comorbidities that may compromise data collection individuals with pacemakers and diabetic individuals using hypoglycemic medications will also be excluded

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that acute fasting for 16 hours will not compromise the total cargo volume when compared to the fed state.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that acute fasting for 16 hours will influence the sensation of hunger compared to the fed state. The assessment will be carried out using a subjective scale, such as the visual analog scale, applied on the days of the experimental sessions. The parameters used to verify the outcome will include the scores obtained on the scale, allowing for comparison between the different experimental conditions.;It is expected that acute fasting for 16 hours will influence blood glucose levels compared to the fed state. Measurement will be performed via capillary blood collection, before and/or after the experimental sessions. The parameters used to verify the outcome will include blood glucose values ??expressed in mg/dL, allowing for comparison between the experimental conditions.;It is expected that acute fasting for 16 hours will influence participants' mood compared to their fed state. Assessment will be performed using a validated instrument, such as the Profile of Mood States (POMS), applied on the days of the experimental sessions. The parameters used to verify the outcome will include the scores obtained in the different domains of the instrument, allowing for comparison between the experimental conditions.;It is expected that acute fasting for 16 hours will influence the subjective perception of session effort compared to the fed state. The assessment will be performed after the experimental sessions using a validated scale.The parameters used to verify the outcome will include session RPE scores, allowing for comparison between the experimental conditions.;It is expected that acute fasting for 16 hours will influence food intake on the days of the experimental sessions. Assessment will be performed using a 24-hour dietary recall. The parameters used to verify the outcome will include total energy intake and macronutrient distribution, allowing for comparison between the experimental conditions.
