5. Conclusions
This is the first study to investigate the use of OliP in an exercise domain. Findings demonstrated that 16-days supplementation of OliP positively influenced parameters of aerobic exercise, most notably at submaximal levels. Reduced oxygen cost and improved running economy at exercise intensities corresponding with LT1, as well as improvements in acute recovery may have implications for recreationally active individuals undertaking demanding or repeated aerobic exercise training. Further research is warranted to corroborate these findings and explore potential applications (time-course, dose-response) to prolonged training periods and/or repetitive bouts of exercise.
