Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study, the effect of citrus extract on exercise performance will be investigated. The study consists of three groups: one group will receive a high dose citrus extract, one group will receive a low dose citrus extract and the last group will receive a placebo. After four and eight weeks the effects on performance are measured through a Wingate cycling test. It is expected that exercise performance will increase in the citrus extract groups, compared to the placebo group.
