Study Overview

Brief Summary

This clinical study evaluates the effect of 500 mg of 2S-hesperidin for 8 weeks on performance (power generated in different metabolic zones), body composition (fat and muscle mass) and biochemical (antioxidant, inflammatory status) and metabolic (capillary blood in finger) markers in amateur cyclists. Our hypothesis is that chronic intake of 2S-hesperidin can improve performance (maximum power generated). To justify this hypothesis, we measured the parameters mentioned above, which could establish a cause-effect relationship between 2S-hesperidin intake and possible yield improvement.

Detailed Description

Participants

All participants were informed about the procedures and provided signed informed consent. The study was conducted according to the guidelines of the Helsinki Declaration for Human Research and the protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Catholic University of Murcia (Code: CE091802).

Study design

Cyclists were instructed to take the supplement along with breakfast and to continue their usual diet and training schedule. Subjects in both groups were instructed not to consume foods high in citrus flavonoids (grapefruit, lemons or oranges) for 5 days prior to and during the study, this was verified by diet recalls records.

Masking Description

The company that performed the encapsulation of both the 2S-hesperidin and the placebo performed the randomization, therefore no one on the research team or the sponsors knew which group each study subject belonged to. The results of the randomization were sent to our laboratory after the end of the study to determine which subjects composed each group
