NCT ID NCT07729072
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether taking olive leaf extract daily for three weeks can enhance the effects of endurance training in healthy, physically active adults aged 18 to 45. Participants will take either olive leaf extract or a placebo while following a moderate or high-intensity cycling program. Researchers will measure changes in aerobic power, oxygen uptake, and muscle function to see if the supplement improves performance beyond training alone.
