Study Groups

Spirulina supplement
3g of spirulina supplement three times daily for 5 days.
Spirulina supplement
Participants consume a 3g spirulina supplement 3 times daily for 5 consecutive days.
Eccentric exercise
On the morning of Day 3 (where Day 1 is when participants start taking supplements), participants perform a single bout of eccentric exercise. The exercise protocol is performed on a single leg and involves 300 (10 sets of 30 repetitions separated by 120 seconds) voluntary maximal, isokinetic, eccentric contractions of the knee extensor. Exercise is performed using a Biodex System 3 isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex Medical Systems, Shirley, NY, USA), and contractions are performed at 60◦/s over an 80◦ range of motion.
Placebo supplement
macronutrient matched placebo supplement three times daily for 5 days.
