NCT ID: NCT03511092 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 53 Completion: 2017-10-28
Conditions
Resistance Training
Interventions
HMB-FA, HMB-Ca, alfa-HICA, Placebo comparator
Summary
This study aimed to conduct a double-blind randomized pragmatic trial to evaluate the effects of off-the-shelf leucine metabolite supplements HMB-FA, HMB-Ca, alfa-HICA, on resistance training-induced changes in body composition, performance and biochemical markers of muscle damage. The investigators' working hypothesis is that so long as subjects adhered to a diet containing adequate energy and dietary protein, there would be no differences between those receiving the leucine metabolites - HMB-FA, HMB-Ca and alfa-HICA - when compared to a placebo consuming group.
Primary Outcome
Change of maximum strength
