Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the research is two-fold. One goal is to determine if post-exercise almond or cereal bar consumption can promote muscle gain as well as increasing muscular strength throughout an eight-week weight training program. The other goal is to assess the short-term effects of almonds or cereal bar on recovery that may explain the overall long-term adaptations.
