Ketone drink study for cyclists after hard exercise
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if taking a ketone drink before intense cycling helps your heart recover faster afterwards. It's for healthy recreational cyclists who are very fit for their age and sex.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a healthy recreational cyclist between 18 and 50 years old
- Be male or female
- Have a very high fitness level (VO2max in the top 10% for your age and sex)
- Not have heart, metabolic, or lung disease
- Not have risk factors for heart disease
- Not have any reason you can't do maximum exercise or an MRI scan

This study tests if drinking a ketone supplement before exercise changes how your body uses carbs for fuel. It may help trained cyclists and triathletes understand fuel efficiency.
This study tests whether a special ketogenic drink taken for 4 weeks can improve how your body uses energy and help maintain muscle health. It may be a good option if you are between 60 and 80, overweight but not diabetic, and not very active.
This study tests whether a special ketone drink can improve exercise ability and heart function in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will have two treadmill exercise tests and heart MRI scans to see how the drink affects their performance and cardiac efficiency.
This study is testing how taking ketone and carbohydrate supplements affects performance in trained cyclists. It is looking for male amateur cyclists who train regularly and have a high fitness level.
This trial tests whether a ketone monoester drink can change how your body builds muscle protein. It may help researchers understand if these supplements could benefit muscle health.
This study tests whether taking ketone supplements with carbohydrates can help trained cyclists improve their performance when riding above a certain intensity level (called the lactate threshold). It may help you understand how to fuel your training better.
