The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of house cricket (Acheta domesticus) supplementation for strength recovery in recreationally active males. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: whether house cricket powder could improve strength recovery and whether house cricket powder could be an alternative to commonly used protein supplement. Participants will do exercise (100 drop jumps) to induce fatigue and then they will consume either isocaloric carbohydrate, whey protein isolate or defatted house cricket powder for 4 days. Their strength will be measured every 24 hours for 4 days in order to observe the recovery.
Researcher will compare house cricket powder with isocaloric carbohydrate to see if the strength recovery is faster in house cricket powder group
Researcher will compare house cricket powder with whey protein isolate to see if the strength recovery is comparable.
Participants: recreationally active males Study type: double-blind randomized controlled trial
Supplement dose is tailored to each participant daily protein consumption. It aims to reach 1.4 g/kg body weight protein, hence participant is required to provide dietary record 3 days before the experiment and during the experiment. Subject will attend one familiarization 1 week before the experiment. During day one of the experiment, subject warmed up before the session. Then their baseline strength and jumping measurement will be taken. Afterwards, they will do 20 reps of drop jumps for 5 sets (each set separated by 2 minutes rest). Immediately after the exercise, they will consume either whey, house cricket or maltodextrin. 10 minutes afterwards, they will undergo another strength and jumping measurement. 24, 48 and 72 hours after the exercise, subject will come for strength and jumping post-test after consuming the supplement. They are also required to fill in a visual analogue scale and 7-points Likert scale form regarding their pain and soreness perception.
