This study tests a natural sweetener compound called mogrosides to see if it can help reduce muscle soreness that starts a day or two after exercise. If you are a young healthy man, you may be able to join and receive either the supplement or a placebo to see how it affects your recovery.
This study tests whether a postbiotic supplement (a substance made from beneficial bacteria) can reduce oxidative stress (cell damage from exercise) and improve exercise performance in healthy, active adults.
This study tests whether a therapeutic ultrasound treatment can help your muscles recover more quickly after they get tired from exercise. You would receive ultrasound on your muscles and we'd measure how well they recover.
This study tests whether wearing special mineral-infused clothing helps muscles recover faster and reduces soreness after intense exercise. It might help you feel better sooner after a tough workout.
This study tests whether a specific probiotic (a beneficial bacteria called Lactiplantibacillus plantarum) can help improve muscle strength and physical function in adults aged 50–84. The probiotic may work by improving gut health, which could support muscle health.
This study tests a postbiotic (a supplement made from beneficial bacteria) to see if it can reduce inflammation, improve gut health, boost recovery after exercise, and ease anxiety. If you're a healthy, active adult, you may be able to take part and help researchers understand how this supplement could support your health.
