Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is to determine whether fish oil (specifically omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids \[EPA-DHA\]) supplementation can enhance eccentric resistance exercise performance when combined with a resistance exercise training study. The investigators aim to establish the potential mechanisms that might mediate performance changes at a cellular level.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Males
* Healthy

Exclusion Criteria

* Resistance exercise training within the past 6 months
* Vitamin or fish oil supplementation over the past 6 months
* Habitual use of anti-inflammatory drugs
* History of heart disease
* History of coagulation/bleeding disorder
* History of metabolic disease
* Serious allergy
* Known to have blood-borne virus
* Females (Due to differences in cell membrane incorporation of Omega-3 between the sexes and the testing schedule being unable to fit in with menstrual cycle, altering the blood markers that are being measured)
* Currently no symptoms of general illness
