Summary

Cranberry is a fruit native to North America that is widely grown in Quebec and has been shown to have the highest antioxidant capacity among the most commonly eaten fruits. Consequently, consuming cranberries prior to exercising may help to improve exercise endurance by preventing accumulation of reactive oxygen species. For aerobic endurance, in order to maintain a certain pace for a long duration, runners need to effectively neutralize reactive oxygen species. Although it is not the only component involved in running, offsetting reactive oxygen species should improve running performance.

To test this, we plan to investigate the effects, both acute and chronic, of a cranberry extract on the oxygen consumption in 18-35 year old males and females.

The present research project will contribute to expand our knowledge of how cranberry extract can exert a positive effect, and thus improve aerobic performance or even every day life. This project can benefit a wide range of the population, from sedentary individuals and older adults to elite athletes by providing an all-natural supplement alternative.
