Summary

The study will assess running biomechanics and joint inflammation of physically active males between 40 and 60 years of age, mainly runners, suffering from knee joint inflammation and pain after training. Participants were split into two groups, intervention and placebo, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Exten(d) supplementation during 4 weeks.

Detailed description

Triple-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, pilot safety, and efficacy study. 30 healthy physically active males (40 to 60 years old) suffering from knee joint inflammation and pain after training were randomly assigned to the Exten(d) or Placebo group. During the first visit and after 4 weeks supplementation (either 2 g daily of Exten(d) capsules or placebo capsules) the participants were subjected to a three-stage exercise session: (i) running biomechanical assessment, (ii) exercise physiology maximal effort test and (iii) running biomechanical assessment after the incremental exercise to exhaustion. The volunteers have been assessed to determine: (1) inflammation by I-R thermography and pain perception, (2) running technics though biomechanic analysis and (3) performance.
