Brief Summary:
Algae such as chlorella are gaining popularity as a nutritious additive to whole food or as a supplement They contain a variety of beneficial nutrients like vitamins minerals healthy fats and amino acids which can have positive effects on our health and possibly athletic performance Chlorella specifically is a type of single-celled green algae that you can easily find in health stores worldwide While theres some evidence suggesting that chlorella supplementation might improve submaximal and maximal performance for cyclists its unclear if it has the same impact on runners To investigate this the investigators aim to conduct a double-blind randomised placebo controlled study to see if taking chlorella daily for 3-weeks can enhance different aspects of running performance both during lowmoderate and intense exercise among individuals who regularly engage in running
Detailed Description:
After signing the consent form we will invite you to come to the ISEH laboratory on Tottenham Court Road so we can take some basic baseline readings This should last up to 60 minutes and will also include a Vo2max Test visit 1 After this you will be randomly allocated either start on chlorella or placebo first After supplementation for visit 2 and 3 you will be required to perform a submaximal running test which will entail running at 60 GET gas exchange threshold 80 GET and 75 of the change from peak This will then be shortly followed by an incremental test to fatigue
You will then be required to undergo the exact same supplementation period on the alternative supplement with the same exercise test performed
You will be required to come into the laboratory a total of 3 times Each visit should take roughly 1 - 15 hours
