Effects of Collagen Peptide Supplementation on Muscle and Tendon Damage and Function

A Randomized Double-blinded Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Effect of Collagen Peptide (Collagen Peptan) Supplementation on Muscle and Tendon Damage, Repair, and Functional Capacity During Exercise Training Overload

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 22 (actual)
• Sponsor: KU Leuven · Academic / Other
• Sex: Male
• Age: 18 Years – 30 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the acute and short-term effects of collagen peptides (Collagen Peptan) on muscle and connective tissue during an eccentric overload training period. Currently, all studies investigating the effects of post-exercise collagen supplementation did this in the absence of whey proteins, which are part of the standard recommendations for post-exercise recovery. The investigators will therefore investigate whether the combined intake of whey proteins and collagen peptides ensures a better recovery of exercise performance and whether it can prevent or reduce symptoms of muscle and tendon overload during a three-week eccentric overload training period (n = 22).
