Official title
Octacosanol Supplementation Improves Lipid Profiles and Oxidative Stress During Rapid Weight Loss and High-Intensity Exercise in Taekwondo Athletes
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Taekwondo players undergo rapid reductions of body weight prior to their competition in order to gain a size advantage over the opponent. However, these large weight changes with concomitant high intensity exercise training induce poor lipid profiles and high levels of oxidative stress, which can be detrimental to health and sports performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of the nutritional supplement octacosanol to combat the physiological detriments that can occur from these rapid weight changes paired with high intensity exercise training.
