Firefighter Thermoregulatory Responses in Active Fire with Betaine Supplementation

NCT06042270 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 17

Last updated 2024-10-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare betaine supplementation to placebo in firefighters undergoing live burn training regarding thermoregulation and inflammation. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does betaine supplementation mitigate rises in core temperature during firefighter live burn training?
* Does betaine supplementation decrease inflammation from firefighter training?
* Does betaine supplementation increase total body water stores?

Participants will supplement with betaine for 1 month and complete:

* Total Body Water measures
* Body Composition measures
* Live Burn training with Core Temperature Measurements
* Provide Salivary samples

Conditions

  • Body Temperature Changes
  • Body Water Dehydration
  • Inflammation
