Clinical Trial Summary

Randomized, single-center, parallel, team-stratified, stratified experimental study to evaluate the efficacy of a high sports supplement in improving high-intensity intermittent exercise performance in professional female soccer players.

Description:

Subjects who meet the selection criteria will be randomly assigned to each of the study groups (investigational product or placebo, depending on the group to which they have been assigned).

The product to be consumed will be Nitrates and Citrulline Malate. Participants will consume the product for 30 days. The intake should be done two hours before each training session and the same dose will be consumed.

The women's soccer players will perform a stress test with gas analysis to measure performance, as well as a Wingate test without consumption of the products. Five days later, the players will perform the Yo-Yo IR1 test in the field and will repeat the same tests performed at the beginning of the test after product consumption.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Aerobic and anaerobic thresholds - VO2max	Measured with a gas analyzer	Change in initial maximal oxygen consumption at 30 days
Primary	Fatigue in jumping	Measured with a contact platform	Change in initial jump fatigue at 30 days
Primary	Anaerobic capacity	Measured with a Monark cycloergometer	Change in baseline anaerobic capacity at 30 days
Secondary	Microcapillary blood	This test provides biochemical variables (ABL90FLEX) with 70 ml of capillary blood.	It will be measured on two different occasions. Day one and 30 days later.
Secondary	Lactate	Lactate levels will be measured using the Lactate Pro	It will be measured on two different occasions. One on the first day (without intake of product ) and 30 days later, the same measurements but after having consumed the product
Secondary	Safety variables	It is a blood test that measures the presence of some enzymes, proteins and bilirubin in the blood, with the aim of determining if there is any alteration in the liver.	It will be measured on two different occasions. Day one and 30 days later.
