NO
The study examines the effects of four-week continuous imidazole dipeptide intake on lipid metabolism during aerobic exercise and on changes in oxidative stress markers before and after exercise in male university students who belong to the university rugby club.
Others
The study is designed as a double-blind, controlled trial. Prior to the intervention, participants will undergo measurement of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). Before and after imidazole dipeptide supplementation, a 40-minute cycling exercise at 65% VO2max will be performed. During exercise, respiratory gas parameters and heart rate will be continuously monitored to evaluate changes in lipid metabolism. Body composition and oxidative stress markers in finger-prick capillary blood also will be measured before and after exercise.
Exploratory
Pragmatic
Not applicable
Change in the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) during a 40 min cycling bout at 65% of VO2ma from baseline to post supplementation (4 weeks).
Body composition (weight, body fat percentage, fat-free mass; InBody 470) assessed at baseline and after 4 weeks; oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity in finger-prick capillary blood (FREE CARRIO DUO) measured before and after the exercise bout at each time point.
