The project is designed as a randomized controlled intervention trial in which 60 young trained (n = 30) (Population A) and recreationally active (n = 30) women (Population B) with regular menstruation are divided into four groups. Population A will receive a low-calorie diet + exercise or an energy balanced diet + exercise over 10 days. Population B will receive a low-calorie diet without exercise, or an energy balanced diet over 10 days. The participants are matched in pairs based on training history and randomized. Before the diet period, the groups will undergo a 6-day control period, during which all participants must take an energy-balanced diet (± training). After the 10 days of the diet intervention period, the groups will receive an energy-balanced diet for 2 days. Before, during, and after the trial period, participants will perform performance tests. In addition, 3 muscle biopsies, 2 adipose biopsies, blood samples, urine samples will be taken during the period, as well as resting metabolic rate, electrocardiogram, flow-mediated vasodilation, and body composition over the trial period. Muscle protein synthesis rate will be measured over the period using stable isotope technique, which includes ingestion of heavy water (D2O) and collection of saliva samples daily (days 0 to 16). The primary measurement parameter is changes in muscle protein synthesis rate.
