The Long-term Effects of Oceanix™ on Resistance Training Adaptations

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Oxidative Stress, Muscle Strength, Resistance Training, Body Composition, Muscle Damage

In brief

This study will examine the effects of Oceanix™, an antioxidant supplement, on muscle performance, immune and endocrine function, recovery and safety in participants undergoing resistance training. Measures of muscle performance will include isometric testing in the bench-press and mid-thigh pull and ground reaction forces in the counter movement- and squat-jump. Markers of immune function will include salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) as well as serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) while endocrine function will be measured by salivary cortisol and testosterone. Recovery will be measure by plasma creatine kinase (CK) and perceptual measures will be assessed using a validated perceived recovery status (PRS) scale. Safety metrics will be indicated by a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), complete blood count (CBC), and urinalysis (UA). Additionally, the modified Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) will be administered following each training session to grade physical exertion and monitor progression of the training protocol.
