Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The study examines the effects of long-term glutamine supplementation on immune function, inflammation, oxidative stress markers, and gut microbiome variations in athletes during competition and training periods

Others

Basic objectives -Others

Before and after the study, participants will undergo a maximal oxygen uptake test using a cycling ergometer and 75-80% of their maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) for 60 minutes. Respiratory gas parameters and heart rate will be measured at regular intervals during exercise, and participants' perceived exertion will be recorded at set intervals. Blood samples will be collected before and after exercise. Additionally, urine and fecal samples will be collected before and after the study, and saliva samples will be collected before, after, and during the study period. These biological samples will be analyzed for markers of immune, inflammation, and oxidative stress parameters. Participants will also complete questionnaires before, after, and during the study to monitor upper respiratory tract infections and symptoms of overtraining syndrome.
