Brief Summary

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

Nucleotides are the building blocks for a variety of molecules, including ATP, which is broken down in the skeletal muscle cells to provide fuel for exercise. Nucleotides can be obtained from the diet, and produced or salvaged by the body. Though nucleotides provide the building blocks for ATP, the sugar ribose has been suggested to be rate limiting for synthesising ATP.

Previous studies have shown a decrease in ATP levels in the muscle after intense exercise, and this is linked to fatigue. Other studies have also reported benefits of nucleotide and/or ribose supplementation on exercise performance. However, any potential link between ATP metabolism and exercise performance has not been explored.

This study will look at the effects of nucleotide and nucleotide-ribose supplementation in fuel utilisation and performance in skeletal muscle during endurance exercise.
