Brief Summary

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

A single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled study in community dwelling, healthy, regularly exercising, highly physically fit men and women, 19 to 40 years. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either 1000 mg NMN or placebo twice daily for 10 weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study participants will be screened for potential participation and those meeting eligibility criteria on screening will be offered participation in the study. 120 subjects will be block randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio, stratified by sex (male, female) and baseline VO2 max. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups using a 2 by 2 factorial design: Group 1 - MIB-626 (MIB-626 - UPA) plus usual physical activity; Group 2 - standardized, progressive, high intensity, multidimensional exercise plus placebo (PL-Ex); Group 3 - MIB-626 plus standardized, progressive, high intensity, multidimensional exercise (MIB-626-Ex); Group 4 - placebo plus usual physical activity (PL-UPA).

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

1. Highly physically fit and familiar with high intensity exercise training, as indicated

1. Engages in vigorous exercise regularly (4 or more days each week) for 30 minutes or longer and which includes elements of resistance exercise training
2. Physically fit ascertained using Daniels' equation https://runsmartproject.com/calculator/, 5K time: ≤ 23.0 min, and/ or 10K time: ≤ 48.0 min These criteria will maximize the likelihood of including individuals with VO2max of at least 40 mL/kg/min.
2. Has a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 32 kg/m2, inclusive
3. Willingness to engage in 10-weeks of intensive exercise training designed to improve aerobic capacity and endurance, muscle strength, power, and fatigability, anaerobic capacity, and body composition, and to reduce fatigue
4. Willing to not engage in additional exercise training if randomized to the progressive exercise group and willing to not change usual physical activity if assigned to the usual physical activity group
5. Is free from clinically significant medical problems as determined by the Investigator
6. Is capable of providing written informed consent.
