Exogenous Ketone Supplementation & Exercise Performance

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

20 healthy recreationally active men and woman aged 18-35 will participate in the study. There will be three treatments involved: Caffeinated ketone supplements, non-caffeinated ketone supplement and water-placebo. Participants will complete the protocol three times and the treatment order will be systematically rotated to avoid any order effect. The three main trials will be separated by at least 1 week. After providing the corresponding treatment, participants will be given 30 minutes and after, they will perform a standardized 10-minute warm-up, followed by the 20 km time trial and a 30-second all-out Wingate test.

Clinical Trial Description

Some researchers support that a state of ketosis, reached through the use of ketogenic diet, has the potential to improve athletic. To attain such state, individuals must restrict carbohydrate intake to a maximum of 50g/ day or 10% while keeping protein intake moderate. One of the biggest challenges to achieve and maintain ketosis is complying with the diet due to its restrictive nature. Consequently, manufacturers have developed supplements that can induce a state of ketosis acutely (~1 hour). Unfortunately, there is very little evidence supporting the use of these supplements to enhance athletic performance. Hyperketonemia (blood ketone concentration > 0.2 Mm) seems to elevate the rate of utilization of ketone bodies. These changes in substrate utilization may allow athletes to preserve, something that would be advantageous for exercise performance. Ketone salts have been shown to elevate the concentration of ketones in blood and as such they may allow the body benefit from the apparent sparing of carbohydrates. Manufacturers now provide ketones salts combined with other ingredients such as caffeine. However it is unknown whether or not the addition of these ingredients has any positive or negative effect on athletic performance. Caffeine alone has been shown to improve athletic performance in several studies. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a caffeine free ketone salt supplement vs a caffeinated ketone salt supplement and their effects on a 20km time trial and a 30 second all-out Wingate test. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
