Clinical Trial Summary

Diet can alter blood ketone levels and this in turn may affect exercise capacity. This study will determine if the acute ingestion of a ketone supplement alters cycling exercise efficiency. Participants will perform three trials in a randomized order. Each trial will involve an incremental exercise protocol on a stationary cycle ergometer to volitional fatigue. Participants will ingest either a high or low dose of a ketone supplement or a taste-matched placebo drink prior to exercise. Blood samples will be obtained to assess selected metabolic responses. This study will provide information regarding the effect of ketone supplementation on exercise efficiency.


Clinical Trial Description

This study will determine if the acute ingestion of a ketone supplement alters cycling exercise efficiency. Trained participants with cycling experience will be recruited. Participants will perform three trials in a randomized order. Each trial will involve a 3-minute warm-up followed by an incremental ramp test. The ramp will initially consist of three, 5-minute stages performed at relative workloads corresponding to 75%, 100%, and 125% of individual ventilatory threshold intensity. This will be followed by a further incremental ramp test to volitional fatigue. Participants will ingest either a high or low dose of a ketone supplement or a taste-matched placebo drink prior to exercise using a randomized, double-blind crossover design. Diet prior to exercise will be standardized between trials for a given participant. Blood samples will be obtained to assess selected metabolic responses. This study will provide information regarding the effect of ketone supplementation on exercise efficiency. ;
