The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of combining olive leaf extract supplementation with endurance training (moderate intensity continuous training or sprint interval training). We hypothesize that OLE supplementation during training, as compared to training alone with placebo, will translate into better performance outcomes. More specifically, we hypothesize that the additional benefits of OLE supplementation on performance will be mediated by improved mitochondrial characteristics in skeletal muscle and increased neural activation.

The CHUV pharmacy will perform the randomization.
The model of sprint interval training (SIT) consists of four to six 30 s all-out cycling bouts on a cycle ergometer, with 4 min rests between tests. Three sessions will be performed per week for three weeks.
The moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) consists of 40 to 60 min cycling on a cycle ergometer at 50% of the maximal aerobic power output. Three sessions will be performed per week for three weeks.
