Development of innovative functional foods is a key sports nutrition strategy to enhance physical performance, support recovery, and promote overall health. Plant-based protein-rich products have emerged as a sustainable alternative to conventional animal-protein sources, offering nutritional benefits and reducing environmental impact. This study aimed to develop high-protein plant-based cookies using a conventional formulation enriched with carrot, broccoli, and legume flour, and to evaluate their effects in a preclinical model. The nutritional composition was determined using standard food analysis methods and microbiological assays were conducted to ensure safety. Twelve-week-old male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to either a standard diet group or a cookie-supplemented group. The intervention consisted of daily administration of cookies at a dose of 5.3 g/kg body weight for 15 days. Physiological and biochemical parameters, including body weight, glucose, lipid profile, renal function, muscle thickness, and grip strength, were assessed. Despite no significant differences in glucose and lipid profiles between groups, increased muscle thickness (pubococcygeus and gastrocnemius), improved grip strength and higher levels of urea and creatinine were observed in the supplemented group. These findings indicate that high-protein plant-based cookies are safe in preclinical conditions and may promote functional benefits such as enhanced muscle strength and lean mass development. Therefore, they represent a promising and sustainable functional food for sports nutrition applications. Full article

Lifestyle behaviors such as diet and physical activity are central to healthy aging, yet their temporal organization remains underexplored in aging research. Drawing on concepts from sports science, this perspective proposes a conceptual framework examining how the timing of nutrient intake and physical activity may influence muscle maintenance, metabolic regulation, and low-grade chronic inflammation in older adults. This paper synthesizes evidence from aging physiology, chronobiology, and lifestyle research to highlight plausible mechanistic pathways and key knowledge gaps. Future observational and interventional studies are needed to determine whether optimizing the timing of lifestyle behaviors contributes meaningfully to healthier aging trajectories. Full article
