Summary

This trial will investigate if taking Solarplast (R) supplements can help active adults recover better after intense exercise. Researchers want to find out if Solarplast (R) can reduce muscle damage,

Who is the study for?
This trial is for active adults who can handle high-intensity resistance exercise. Participants must be willing to take a daily supplement (Solarplast(R) or placebo) for 4 weeks and visit the lab weekly, plus attend three consecutive sessions after supplementation for training and tests.
What is being tested?
The study aims to find out if Solarplast(R), compared with a placebo, can reduce muscle damage and inflammation from intense workouts, as well as prevent performance decline. It involves taking supplements over four weeks followed by lab visits and testing.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention includes a dietary supplement (Solarplast(R)) versus a placebo, specific side effects are not listed but could include typical reactions to new supplements such as digestive discomfort.
