Effects of Plant-Based Diet on Athletic Performance in Recreational Athletes

This chapter explores a study conducted on recreational athletes to evaluate the impact of a plant-based diet with plant meat substitutes versus an omnivorous diet on running and strength training performance.

Additionally, they delve into the possibilities of conducting a plant-based versus carnivore study and highlight the importance of longer durations and larger sample sizes in assessing the metabolic changes and feasibility of long-term dietary adherence.
