Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a lyophilized Cornelian Cherry supplement works to improve anaerobic performance and reduce fatigue in young football players (U14-U19 age group).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does taking a lyophilized Cornelian Cherry supplement improve participants' anaerobic performance as measured by the Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST)?
- Does the supplement reduce participants' levels of fatigue after strenuous exercise?
Researchers will measure participants' performance and fatigue levels before the study begins and compare them to the levels measured after 1 week of taking the cranberry supplement. This will help determine the effect of the supplement.
Participants will:
- Take 30 grams of lyophilized Cornelian Cherry powder every day for 1 week.
- Visit the study center at the beginning and at the end of the 1-week period for checkups and tests.
- Undergo anthropometric measurements (such as height, weight, and body composition) at the start of the study.
- Perform a Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) and a fatigue test at the start and end of the study.
Primary Outcome
Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) - Performance Test
