Investigating the Effects of Krill Oil and Krill Protein on Post-exercise Muscle Protein Metabolism

Investigating the Effects of Krill Oil and Krill Protein on Post-exercise Muscle Protein Metabolism: a Randomised Controlled Trial

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 48 (estimated)
• Sponsor: University of Glasgow · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 60 Years – 90 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The aim of the current study is to find out if krill oil can increase muscle building processes in response to resistance (weightlifting) type exercise. Others aim are to determine the effects of krill protein, and the interaction of krill oil and protein, on muscle building processes in response to resistance (weightlifting) type exercise.

Conditions

• Hypertrophy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Krill oil	Krill oil will be supplemented to see if they can gain strength and/or muscle mass following supplementation.
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Krill protein	Krill protein will be given to the participant following a resistance exercise bout.
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Vegetable oil	This will be the control against the Krill oil
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Carbohydrate	This will be the control for the Krill protein
