Brief Summary

The investigation will be conducted as a double blinded, randomized, crossover within-participant comparison design with two 1-week intervention periods separated by 2-weeks for wash out, recovery, period.

Conditions

Protein Deficiency; Training Group, Sensitivity; Fatigue; Muscular Atrophy; Psychological

Keywords

Fatigue; Supplement; Pre-Workout; Muscle; Recovery; Training; Strength; Endurance; Perceptual Response

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Tensiomyography

  Fatigue and contractility assessment via Tensiomyography will be assessed in Biceps Femoris Long Head, Vastus Medialis, and Anterior Deltoid.

  Changes from 10 minutes Previous to post 1 hour after the completion of each workout session

• Vertical Jump

  Flight Time (measured in seconds).

  Changes from 10 minutes Previous to post 1 hour after the completion of each resistance training workout session

• Over Head Medicine Ball Throw

  Medicine Ball Throw (measured in meters and centimeters).

  Changes from 10 minutes Previous to post 1 hour after the completion of each resistance training workout session

• Maximal Mid-Thigh Pull Isometrical Strength

  Maximal Strength (measured in kilograms).

  Changes from 10 minutes Previous to post 1 hour after the completion of each resistance training workout session

• Self Perceived Energy Feeling

  All participants will fill a short questionnaire (from 1 to 5 points) about their perception of energy before every training. Energy Feeling will be assessed (Evergy level, Fatigue Level, Feeling of Alertness, and Feeling of Focus for the task, valued from 1 = low energy to 5 = high energy).

  Before every Training Session and up to 1 week of training.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Whole Body Perceptual Response during Resistance Training

  Differences between first week and second week of training.

• Perception of Effort during Endurance Training.

  Differences between first week and second week of training

Study Arms (2)

Pre-Workout Supplement

EXPERIMENTAL

A 60 g dose of a commercially available pre-workout supplement providing 159 kcal including carbohydrates 15 g, essential amino acids 12 g, citrulline 3.5 g, Arginine, 3.5 g Taurine 1 g, L-Tyrosine 1 g, yerba mate 0.3 g and caffeine 0.4 g. With 250 ml of water.

Dietary Supplement: Pre-Workout Supplement; Other: Resistance Training; Other: Endurance Training

Maltodextrin Supplement

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

A isoenergetic Maltodextrin supplement will be administered as placebo. With 250 ml of water.

Dietary Supplement: Pre-Workout Supplement; Other: Resistance Training; Other: Endurance Training

Interventions

Pre-Workout Supplement DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

One week familiarisation, one-week training, two weeks washout period and one-week training. 15 Minutes before every training, the Pre-Workout Arm (PRE-W) will take a Supplement shake, consisting of some ingredients (Multi-Ingredient, explained before) and the Placebo Comparator Arm (CHO) will drink a Placebo shake, consisting of Maltodextrin.

Also known as: Multi-Ingredient Supplement

Resistance Training OTHER

-Resistance Training days (Monday-Wednesday-Friday): Before training starts, Tensiomyography and Energy Feeling will be assessed (Energy Level, Fatigue Level, Feeling of Alertness, and Feeling of Focus on the task). Immediately after finishing, Tensiomyography and Performance (Vertical Jump, Overhead Medicine Ball Throw, and Maximal Mid-Tigh Pull Isometric Strength) will be assessed. Training Protocol: 10 minutes of standardized warm-up, Strength Circuit training using free weights (Parallel Squat; Bench Press; Alternate Box Set-Ups; Shoulder Press; Alternate Lunges; Up-right Row; Hip-Thrust; Squat on Isoinertial Fly-Wheel or Drop Jump). The participants will have to perform 16 repetitions of each exercise, with 30 seconds rest and 3 minutes rest after every set. If they can complete 16 repetitions easily, 2,5 to 5 kg will be added for the next set. Also, whole-body Perceptual Response will be assessed using the 0-10 OMNI-RES Scale, after every set and 15 minutes after finishing.

Endurance Training OTHER

\- Endurance Training days (Tuesday-Thursday): Energy Feeling Questionnaire will be implemented before training. The training will consist of 30 minutes cycling at their Fatmax Intensity (\~60% Vo2max) on a Cycloergometer (estimated during familiarisation week). Also, the Heart Rate will be recorded during the whole training. Besides, Perception of Effort will be assessed using the 6-20 version of the Borg Scale every 5 minutes during training and 15 minutes after it has been completed.
