The aim of the current study is to find out if krill oil can increase muscle building processes in response to resistance (weightlifting) type exercise. Others aim are to determine the effects of krill protein, and the interaction of krill oil and protein, on muscle building processes in response to resistance (weightlifting) type exercise.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vegetable oil + Carbohydrate | Placebo Comparator | The vegetable oil will be a placebo control for the Krill oil (4g/day). The carbohydrate will be a placebo control for the Krill protein (20g) |
|
| Vegetable oil + Krill protein | Experimental | The vegetable oil will be a placebo control for the Krill oil (4g/day). Krill protein will be our active intervention (20g) |
|
| Krill oil + Carbohydrate | Experimental | The Krill oil will be the active supplement for the intervention (4g/day). The carbohydrate will be a placebo control for the Krill protein (20g) |
|
| Krill oil + Krill protein | Experimental | Both the Krill oil (4g/day) and the Krill protein will be the active intervention supplements (20g) |
