What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Summary

This study looks at whether taking vitamin D and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) for 8 weeks can improve physical performance and reduce muscle fatigue in male long-distance runners. Researchers will measure changes in blood markers and running speed compared to a placebo group. The goal is to see if these common supplements offer real benefits for recovery and endurance.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Vitamin D and branched-chain amino acids
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple supplement routine to help runners recover faster and perform better.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial in healthy men only, so results may not apply to others. Supplements may show no benefit over placebo.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
