Investigating the Effects of Krill Oil on the Recovery From Muscle Damaging Exercise: a Randomised Controlled Trial

1\. What will happen to me if I take part? All study visits will be at the University of Glasgow main campus within the Sir James Black building.

Visit 2 (duration 1 hours) Before the remaining study visits in the morning, you will be asked to arrive at the laboratory after an overnight fast (no food or caffeinated/calorific beverages from 10pm), and without having done intense exercise for two days prior to the visit. Upon arriving in the laboratory, we will collect a blood sample (after which we will provide you with a snack), and measure your body composition, muscle size, muscle strength and physical function. You will then be familiarised with the resistance training protocol, and we will determine your maximum strength for two leg exercises.
