About this study

Official title: The Effects of Short Term Oceanix Supplementation on Muscle Mass, Strength, and Power Underneath Extreme Training Conditions in Healthy and Elite Athletic Populations

The purpose of this study will be to examine the effects of Oceanix supplementation on isometric mid-thigh pull force kinetics and salivary immunoglobulin A (indice of immune function) following a one-week intense resistance training protocol. The study will be carried out in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel manner. Subjects will be stratified into quartiles based on peak force achieved in the isometric mid-thigh pull assessment during screen and prior to baseline testing. Subjects from each quartile will be randomly divided by into treatment and or placebo conditions.

Following randomization, subjects will be baseline tested on isometric mid-thigh pull and salivary immunoglobulin A. Following baseline testing, subject will be given their respective supplement conditions and will be instructed to consume one serving (25mg) a day for 21 consecutive days. For days 1 through 14 subjects will be asked to refrain from resistance training. Subjects will undergo a five day intense resistance training protocol will on day 15 to day 19. Subjects will complete follow-up testing in a manner identical to baseline on day 20 and 21 (24- and 48-hours post completion of the training protocol).

The purpose of this study will be to examine the effects of Oceanix supplementation on isometric mid-thigh pull force kinetics and salivary immunoglobulin A (indice of immune function) following a one-week intense resistance training protocol. The study will be carried out in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel manner. Subjects will be stratified into quartiles based on peak force achieved in the isometric mid-thigh pull assessment during screen and prior to baseline testing. Subjects from each quartile will be randomly divided by into treatment and or placebo conditions. Supplement conditions will be provided in visually identical capsules and containers. Supplement compliance will be determined via supplement logs and collection of supplement containers on day 21. Subjects will be instructed to refrain from consuming other nutritional supplements for the duration of the study.

Following randomization, subjects will be baseline tested on isometric mid-thigh pull and salivary immunoglobulin A. Following baseline testing, subject will be given their respective supplement conditions and will be instructed to consume one serving (25mg) a day for 21 consecutive days. For days 1 through 14 subjects will be instructed to consume their condition with their first meal of the day, and they will asked to refrain from resistance training during this time frame. Subjects will undergo a five day intense resistance training protocol will on day 15 to day 19, and they will be instructed to consume their condition approximately 30 minutes prior to the training session. Subjects will complete follow-up testing in a manner identical to baseline on day 20 and 21 (24- and 48-hours post completion of the training protocol) consuming their condition approximately 30 minutes prior to their arrival at the laboratory.

The five day resistance training protocol will consist of two lower-, two upper-, and one full-body workout. Exercise sets performed on the first four days of the protocol will be targeted will repetition maximum loads such that sets will be perform to or near muscular failure. On the fifth day of the protocol, subjects will perform sets of bodyweight rear foot elevated split squats to failure for a total of 10 sets (5 sets with each leg in an alternating fashion). Subjects will be instructed to maintain the cadence set on an audible metronome, which will be set at one second downward and one second upward. Failure for these sets will be defined as 1) volitional muscle failure or 2) failure to complete two consecutive repetitions at the prescribed metronome cadence. Subjects will rest for one minute between sets. Prior to all training sessions, subjects will perform a dynamic warm-up, and following all training sessions, subjects will complete a cool down with static stretching of the targeted muscle groups with the session. All warm-up, resistance training, and cool down sessions will be supervised by trained research personnel. All training sessions will be separated by at least 24-hours.

Experimental GroupExperimentalSubjects will consume one serving per day (25mg) of the treatment condition (Oceanix ®) for 21 days following baseline testing. Days 1 through 14 subjects will consume the supplement with the first meal of the day and refrain from resistance training. Days 15 through 19, subjects will complete one supervised resistance training each day and consume the supplement approximately 30 minutes prior to the training session. On days 20 and 21, subjects will complete follow-up testing in a manner identical to baseline and consume the supplement approximately 30 minutes prior to their arrival at the laboratory.

Placebo GroupPlacebo comparatorSubjects will consume one serving per day (25mg) of the microcrystalline cellulose-based placebo condition for 21 days following baseline testing. Days 1 through 14 subjects will consume the supplement with the first meal of the day and refrain from resistance training. Days 15 through 19, subjects will complete one supervised resistance training each day and consume the supplement approximately 30 minutes prior to the training session. On days 20 and 21, subjects will complete follow-up testing in a manner identical to baseline and consume the supplement approximately 30 minutes prior to their arrival at the laboratory.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oceanix® and Resistance Training in people with Oxidative Stress and Muscle Strength, run by Applied Science & Performance Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in Muscle Strength (Forces exerted in kg) (time frame: Baseline, 24-Hours Post Last Training Day, 48-Hours Post Last Training Day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Nov 2020.
