Capsimax for Resistance Exercise Performance Study
This study is looking at how a dietary supplement called Capsimax affects exercise performance. Capsimax is a natural ingredient found in chili peppers. Researchers want to see if taking Capsimax can improve things like how well you perform during resistance exercises (like squats), your reaction time, and how much energy your body uses at rest. They will also measure muscle oxygen levels and nitric oxide (a molecule that helps with blood flow) during exercise using a special wearable device. You might be able to join if you are a man between 18 and 35 years old, have a healthy body mass index (BMI), and have at least one year of resistance training experience. The study aims to enroll 40 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
