Interventions

  • Collagen — DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT
    Participants will consume two 30-g amount of collagen peptides derived from bovine hide (commercially available as Vital Proteins or Peptan) mixed in 300 ml of orange gatorade zero.
  • Maltodextrin — DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT
    Participants will consume two 30-g amount of pure maltodextrin mixed in 300 ml of orange gatorade zero.

Study Details

This study is focused on exploring the gap in the literature by comparing the effects of collagen protein versus placebo supplementation on the musculotendinous unit following muscle damaging protocol. Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify and compare the effect of collagen protein versus placebo supplementation on indirect markers of musculotendinous unit recovery following eccentric calf exercises.

Arms

  • Experimental: Collagen
    Collagen supplementation group will have 12 participants. They will perform various physical assessments that include pain scale, pain pressure threshold assessment, body composition, calf circumference measurements, muscle thickness measurements, Achilles tendon length and thickness measurements, myotonography of the calf, isometric force assessments during standing and seated plantarflexion positions, a heel raise test, and a standardized exercise routine focused on eccentric movements, targeting a leg chosen at random. Additionally, they will consume a daily dose of two 30-g amount of collagen peptides derived from bovine hide (commercially available as Vital Proteins or Peptan).
  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo
    Placebo supplementation group will have 12 participants. They will perform various physical assessments that include pain scale, pain pressure threshold assessment, body composition, calf circumference measurements, muscle thickness measurements, Achilles tendon length and thickness measurements, myotonography of the calf, isometric force assessments during standing and seated plantarflexion positions, a heel raise test, and a standardized exercise routine focused on eccentric movements, targeting a leg chosen at random. Additionally, they will consume a daily dose of placebo (two 30 g of pure maltodextrin with no amino acids) mixed in 300 ml of orange Gatorade zero.
  • No Intervention: Control
    Control group (n=12) will receive no supplement. Control group participants will do all the assessments that the intervention participants are performing, except for the standardized exercise routine focused on the eccentric movements. Randomization will be performed via www.randomizer.org website.
