Official title

The Importance of Amino Acid Availability in Modulating the Muscle Anabolic Response to β2-adrenergic Stimulation.

Overview

The purpose of the project is to investigate the effect of amino acid availability on the muscle anabolic response to beta2-adrenergic stimulation in young healthy men and women.

Interventions

  • Drug Salmeterol + amino acid availability
    The participants will be administered 200 µg salmeterol (8 puffs) from a MDI device and 40 g amino acid availability (clear whey in a shaker with water) daily during a 6-week intervention. Participants will be instructed to provide documentation of both the inhalation and the shaker intake via video.
  • Drug Salmeterol + placebo
    The participants will be administered 200 µg salmeterol (8 puffs) from a MDI device. Furthermore they will be administered 80 g placebo (carbo fuel in a shaker with water) daily during a 6-week intervention. Participants will be instructed to provide documentation of both the inhalation and the shaker intake via video.
  • Drug Placebo + placebo
    The participants will be administered placebo (8 puffs) from a MDI device. Furthermore they will be administered 80 g placebo (carbo fuel in a shaker with water) daily during a 6-week intervention. Participants will be instructed to provide documentation of both the inhalation and the shaker intake via video.

Primary outcome measures

  • Skeletal muscle hypertrophy [Time frame: Through study completion, an average on 7 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
  • Quadriceps strength [Time frame: Through study completion, an average on 7 weeks]
  • Power output during sprint testing [Time frame: Through study completion, an average on 7 weeks]
  • Power output during time trial [Time frame: Through study completion, an average on 7 weeks]
