简要总结
This is a randomized, repeated measures and double blind study which measures the effect of fenugreek extract on markers of muscle damage and inflammation in non-resistance trained males. Participants will complete baseline testing and then be randomized into groups. Participants will complete a 2 week, split-body resistance training program. They will then return for testing in which they will complete an overreaching protocol for 5 consecutive days. Measurements will be recorded 24 hrs after the fifth day. Participants will resume the training program for one additional week and return for final measurements.
详细描述
Subjects expressing interest in doing the study will be interviewed in the UMHB Human Performance Lab (HPL) to determine whether they qualify to participate in the study. Upon qualification, participants will be scheduled a familiarization session in which they will be taught how to perform a proper bench press, back squat, deadlift and squat thruster. They will then schedule their first testing session which will include: a body composition analysis via an InBody 770, thigh circumference measurements, joint mobility measurements, a blood draw, strength testing (1RM), and muscular endurance testing (70% 1RM max reps). Participants will then be placed in groups based on fat free mass and assigned their workout program (3days/week) with training loads based on their 1RM values (bench press, back squat, deadlift and squat thruster).
Supplementation protocol: Participants will be randomly assigned into one of three groups and instructed to ingest capsules of either a placebo, or IND03 (fenugreek extract) containing 300mg, or 500mg. They will supplement 1 hour prior to their workout each exercise day as well as during the overreaching week. On "off/rest" days, participants will consume capsules in the morning with breakfast.
After two weeks of training, participants will return to the HPL for follow-up strength testing (1RM), and muscular endurance testing (70% 1RM max reps), then instructed to rest for 48 hours and return to the lab to begin their overreaching protocol. During each of the 5 days, participants undergo the following measurements prior to the exercise protocol: thigh circumference, joint mobility, and questionnaires (WOMAC & VAS). On Day 1 participants will also perform an InBody and blood draw. A blood draw will also be performed on Day 3. They will then consume a standardized snack and begin the overreaching protocol of 8 sets of 10 repetitions for the following 4 exercises: bench press, back squat, deadlift and squat thruster. There will be a 1 minute rest period in between each set and a 2 minute rest in between each exercise. Participants will then fill out a Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) immediately after the protocol. Again, they will perform this for 5 consecutive days.
Twenty-four hours after the last overreaching day, participants will return for thigh circumference, joint mobility, questionnaires (WOMAC & VAS), a blood draw, strength testing (1RM), and muscular endurance testing (70% 1RM max reps). They will then be instructed to continue the resistance training program for 1 week. After that period they will return for final measurements of thigh circumference, joint mobility, questionnaires (WOMAC & VAS), a blood draw, strength testing (1RM), and muscular endurance testing (70% 1RM max reps).
Throughout the duration of the study, participants will record their dietary intake via MyFitnessPal.
