Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of taking a new supplement for 16 days on cognitive function and exercise performance, compared to a placebo (a supplement that looks and tastes the same, but doesn't have the same ingredients) in 40 healthy individuals - 20 young individuals (aged 18-30) and 20 older individuals (aged 50-65). The main questions it aims to answer are: - If taking the supplement for 16 days improves exercise performance, or the speed with which the body responds to the commencement of exercise. - If taking the supplement improves cognitive function. Participants will visit the lab on 5 separate occasions to: - complete some cognitive tests - complete exercise performance tests - provide blood samples All exercise tests will be on an exercise bike. After 28 (or 46 for pre-menopausal females) days to make sure the supplement has left the body fully, participants will consume the opposite supplement and repeat the tests.
This study aims to examine the effects of dietary nitrate supplementation via beetroot juice on sprint interval cycling exercise performance. Twenty-four participants (male or female) will undertake a randomized, crossover trial where they consume either (i) an isotonic beetroot juice drink containing nitrate (12.9 mmol) for 5 days or (ii) an isotonic sports drink (no nitrate) for 5 days. On Day 5 of each trial, participants will come to the laboratory and 2 hours after consuming their allocated drink will complete a 6 bouts of sprint interval exercise. Power output during cycling will be measured as the primary outcome measure. Salivary and plasma measures of nitrate and nitrite will be taken over the course of the morning on Day 5. After a 5-day washout period participants will crossover and begin their second trial.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate acute changes in rates of fat oxidation during exercise with and without the ingestion of a caffeine-based energy drink.
The purpose of the project is to investigate exercise performance in humans following prolonged inhalation of beta2-agonists vilanterol + fluticasone furoate or indacaterol + mometasone furoate
The purpose of the project is to investigate exercise performance in humans following bronchodilation induced by acute inhalation of beta2-agonist indacaterol + mometasonefuroate
The purpose of the project is to investigate exercise performance in humans following bronchodilation induced by acute inhalation of beta2-agonist vilanterol + fluticasone furoate
The purpose of the proposed project is to determine if short-term dietary supplementation of magnesium will improve performance during a series of lab-based exercise tests, will favorably modify the gut-microbiota, and will augment skeletal muscle mitochondrial function.
20 healthy trained males will volunteer to participate in this study. there will be 2 treatments: Carbohydrate- ketone supplementation and carbohydrate alone. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of glucose-ketone supplementation on a 20 km cycling time trial with a 2-hour feeding during a 4-hour recovery period following glycogen depleting exercise.
