Schematic representation of the study protocol. The experimental design consisted of two dietary interventions involving four weeks of time-restricted eating (TRE) and non-time-restricted eating (non-TRE). TRE interventions followed a 16/8 time-restricted feeding protocol. The order of dieting was randomized and counterbalanced, and two weeks of washout separated both conditions. Baseline dietary records were obtained prior to each dietary intervention. Body composition assessments and muscular performance tests were performed in consecutive days at baseline and after four weeks of intervention under both conditions. The participants were required to follow a structured training routine during each dietary intervention (three weekly sessions of four sets of 8–10 repetitions at 85% of the 1-RM leg press, bench press, leg extension, leg curl, shoulder press and lat pulldown).Estimated daily dietary intake obtained on four days immediately before time-restricted eating (TRE) and habitual diet (non-TRE).Values are mean ± SD and 95% confidence interval.Changes in body composition after four weeks of time-restricted eating (TRE) and habitual diet (non-TRE).Values are mean ± SD and 95% confidence intervals. * Time main effect (ANOVA: Changes in indices of muscle strength (lower limb) after 30 days of time-restricted eating (TRE) and habitual diet (non-TRE).Values are mean ± SD.
