Filter by:Overall Objective: To determine the efficacy of rbLf supplementation in a healthy adult population, specifically with regard to iron regulation (primary), gut health (secondary), and immune function (secondary). Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of rbLf on iron regulation, exercise performance, gut health, and immune function as compared to cow's milk derived bLf. Participants: To account for an approximate ~10% dropout rate (and rounding up to ensure equal number of enrolled participants per group), n=25 per group for males (N=50) and n=30 per group for females (N=60) will be enrolled for a total sample size of N=110. Procedures: Participation in this study will include 6 in-person visits over 14 weeks. Anemia will be checked and excluded at the first visit using a single finger prick, followed by a 10-20 min exercise test on a treadmill to evaluate exercise capacity. On visit 2 participants will perform three 3-15 minute exercise tests on a treadmill with rest in between each test in order to determine exercise performance. A finger prick will be performed before and after each run to determine lactate levels. After visits 2 participants will be randomized to their respective supplement group recombinant Bovine Lactoferrin supplement (rbLf) (Male and Fame), a bovine-milk derived Lactoferrin supplement (Female), or a placebo (Male) once daily for 4 weeks. Blood samples will be obtained prior to and after each supplement phase to determine change in iron levels and red blood cell capacity. After a 2-week washout participants will return to complete the same testing outcomes and will receive the subsequent supplement. At visit 6 a final blood sample will be collected.
The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of chronic 12-week high-dose Colostrum Bovinum (COL) and placebo (PLA) supplementation on immunological, hematological and biochemical markers, as well as physical capacity and discipline-specific exercise performance in endurance athletes, in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial.
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 goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of the ozone therapy applied using the major autohemotherapy method on exercise performance in male healthy individuals. The main question's aims to answer are: - Is ozone therapy applied with the major autohemotherapy method increase the performance? - Is ozone therapy applied with the major autohemotherapy method improve the recovery after exercise? - Participants are asked to continue the same exercise program throughout the study. They were given 10 sessions of ozone therapy over 6 weeks. Researchers compared the before and after treatment performance and recovery data.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of added probiotic cultures to a carbohydrate + protein recovery beverage compared to a similar recovery beverage without probiotic cultures, in its ability to impact endurance performance, perceived ratings of gastrointestinal symptoms and markers of inflammation and intestinal damage.
The purpose of the project is to investigate exercise performance in well-trained individuals in a crossover design following varying degrees of bronchodilation/constriction intervention using current standard procedures.
This study may discover that supplementing with probiotics LY-66, PL-02 can promote exercise endurance, explosive power and reduce muscle inflammation index in healthy people.
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
