Methods
This cross-sectional study compared exercise capacity of runners on vegetarian, vegan, or omnivorous diet. As a plant-based protein, peanuts play an important role in many plant-based diets.
Key Findings
Key Findings: Results showed that runners on a plant-based diet did not show differences in exercise capacity. Authors conclude that "a vegan diet can be a suitable alternative for ambitious recreational runners."
