Investigating the Effects of Krill Oil and Krill Protein on Post-exercise Muscle Protein Metabolism
Investigating the Effects of Krill Oil and Krill Protein on Post-exercise Muscle Protein Metabolism: a Randomised Controlled Trial
University of Glasgow
48 participants
May 1, 2023
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The aim of the current study is to find out if krill oil can increase muscle building processes in response to resistance (weightlifting) type exercise. Others aim are to determine the effects of krill protein, and the interaction of krill oil and protein, on muscle building processes in response to resistance (weightlifting) type exercise.

Interventions
Krill oil will be supplemented to see if they can gain strength and/or muscle mass following supplementation.
Krill protein will be given to the participant following a resistance exercise bout.
This will be the control against the Krill oil
This will be the control for the Krill protein
