Synergistic Effects of Green Tea Extract and Ginger Supplementation on Endurance Performance and Thermal Perception in Normal and Cold Environments: A Randomized Crossover Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Placebo Arm, Green Tea Extract, and 2 other interventions for Nutritional Supplementation and Exercise Physiology. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study investigates the effects of green tea extract and ginger supplementation, both individually and in combination, on endurance performance, metabolism, thermal comfort, and muscle soreness in recreationally active young men. Participants will complete cycling tests under both normal room temperature (21-24°C) and cold (5-7°C) conditions. The study uses a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design to compare the outcomes of placebo, green tea, ginger, and combined supplementation. The findings may help to identify nutritional strategies that improve exercise performance and comfort in different environmental conditions.
