No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the current study is to find out if krill oil can increase muscle building processes in response to resistance (weightlifting) type exercise. Others aim are to determine the effects of krill protein, and the interaction of krill oil and protein, on muscle building processes in response to resistance (weightlifting) type exercise.

Conditions

  • Hypertrophy

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Krill oil

Krill oil will be supplemented to see if they can gain strength and/or muscle mass following supplementation.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Krill protein

Krill protein will be given to the participant following a resistance exercise bout.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Vegetable oil

This will be the control against the Krill oil

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Carbohydrate

This will be the control for the Krill protein
