Collaborative Research to Optimize Warfighter Nutrition (CROWN) III
Abstract
The Collaborative Research to Optimize Warfighter Nutrition (CROWN) III project is a series of 5 projects that used nutrition, metabolism and human physiology to address objectives relevant to the nutritional health of military personnel. Scientists at Pennington Biomedical Research Center and the Military Nutrition Division at the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine collaborated on the design, execution, and analysis of the 5 research projects that fall within three topic areas: Operational Stress and Nutritional Requirements; Nutrition, Inflammation and Resiliency; and Healthy Eating and Behavior. The 5 projects were as follows: 1. Determine the physiological and psychological effects of testosterone during severe energy deficit and recovery. 2. Determine the substrate utilization, exercise performance, and skeletal muscle response to energy deficit and altitude acclimatization. 3. Effects of energy balance and energy deficit on inflammatory response. 4. Go for Green (GFG) Effectiveness. 5. Development of a valid and military-appropriate survey tool for the assessment of Soldier eating behaviors. The outcomes provided the scientific basis to develop novel nutritional programs, products, and strategies that promote Warfighter health, performance and resilience to operational stress.
