Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation to Enhance Performance in Collegiate Athletes
Abstract
The goal of this intervention study is to determine if omega-3 fatty acid supplementation as compared to placebo improves performance in track and field athletes. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Can performance be improved
2. Can strength be enhanced
3. Will positive body composition changes occur (lean vs fat mass)
4. Will feelings of muscle soreness be diminished Participants will take either omega-3 fatty acid supplements or placebo and continue with their sport specific training regimen.
Researchers will compare the supplement group to placebo group to determine if there are any significant differences.
Conditions: Strength, Body Composition, Muscle Soreness.
Primary outcome: Strength; Power.
Enrollment: 33 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 33 participants or records.
