Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of house cricket (Acheta domesticus) supplementation for strength recovery in recreationally active males. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: whether house cricket powder could improve strength recovery and whether house cricket powder could be an alternative to commonly used protein supplement. Participants will do exercise (100 drop jumps) to induce fatigue and then they will consume either isocaloric carbohydrate, whey protein isolate or defatted house cricket powder for 4 days. Their strength will be measured every 24 hours for 4 days in order to observe the recovery.

Researcher will compare house cricket powder with isocaloric carbohydrate to see if the strength recovery is faster in house cricket powder group

Researcher will compare house cricket powder with whey protein isolate to see if the strength recovery is comparable.
