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 looks at whether taking a special drink (ketone supplement) with carbohydrates can help improve your cycling performance when you are riding at a very hard effort level.
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 trial tests a special ketone drink to see if it can help people recently hospitalized with acute heart failure feel better and recover faster. It measures how the drink affects the heart and body during the early days in the hospital.
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.
