Brief summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of a 10 weeks SODB® supplementation in physical condition improvements of healthy subjects, in comparison to a placebo.
Detailed description
Beneficial experimental results have already been obtained with SODB®. That is why, the investigators expect several effects of SODB® here. Indeed, this clinical study could show that SODB® is able to improve physical conditions, and particularly at muscular and cardiac levels, by inducing a decrease in oxidative stress.
Interventions
Subjects are supplemented with SODB®, daily over 10 weeks. Each volunteer was seen for the 4 visits: - visit of pre-inclusion V1, - visit V2, so-called inclusion visit, - visit V3 after 4 weeks of physical training and - visit V3 after 8 weeks of physical training
Subjects are supplemented with Placebo, daily over 10 weeks. Each volunteer was seen for the 4 visits: - visit of pre-inclusion V1, - visit V2, so-called inclusion visit, - visit V3 after 4 weeks of physical training and - visit V3 after 8 weeks of physical training
