The Effect of Dietary Fasting on Physical Balance
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose was to examine the effect of dietary fasting on physical balance among university aged Caucasian women (N=22). METHODS: Demographic and dietary information was obtained using a background questionnaire and a 24-hour dietary recall. Functional measurements included grip strength, functional reach (dynamic balance) and timed single limb stance (static balance). The participants were tested under two trial conditions fasted and non-fasted and these two conditions were counter-balanced with two weeks between trials. For the fasting trial, participants were asked to refrain from consuming any food or caffeinated beverages for 15 hours prior to testing. RESULTS: The average age of the participants was 22 years of age and over 82% described their health as very good or excellent. The results showed that dietary fasting resulted in significant decline in functional reach (p<0.000), ability to balance in a single limb stance with eyes open, on both the dominant and non-dominant leg (p=0.011 and p=0.002 respectively), and with eyes closed trial on the dominant leg (p=0.002). Thus, the study showed that an interrupted dietary intake negatively affects one's ability to maintain physical balance. CONCLUSIONS: The findings have implications for athletic performance for younger individuals as well as falls prevention among older adults.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
