NCT ID: NCT06332222 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 35 Completion: 2023-10-11
Conditions
Exercise Recovery
Interventions
Tart Cherry, Placebo
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare recovery in healthy, active runners.
The main questions it aimed to answer were whether 7 day supplementation with Vistula TC attenuated:
- muscle function
- inflammation
- soreness following a marathon run.
Participants will either consume a spray-dried tart cherry supplement or a calorie-matched placebo-control for 7 days, and complete a marathon. Participants will perform functional tests, be assessed for their perceptual recovery and markers of inflammation and muscle damage via:
- maximal voluntary contractions
- counter movement jumps
- visual analog scales to assess soreness
- blood samples
Primary Outcome
Maximal Voluntary Contraction
