Mechanisms to Reduce Mental and Physical Fatigue Following Exercise Training in Older Adults

The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio·interventional·Posted Aug 2, 2022·Updated Nov 21, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating BCAA for Fatigue and Aging. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Fatigue is a strong predictor of negative health outcomes in older adults. The research in this study will compared the effects of 8-weeks of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs: dietary supplements commonly taken to improve muscle growth and exercise performance) added to exercise on fatigue compared to exercise with a placebo (an inactive, harmless substance). BCAAs could have an impact on improving fatigue common in older adults, especially when exercising.
