What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying the effects of lemongrass extract on aerobic training outcomes and sexual wellness in males aged 25 to 60 years. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to assess how a 6-week high-intensity interval training program combined with either lemongrass extract or a placebo affects aerobic capacity and sexual health. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 200 mg of lemongrass extract tablets or placebo tablets daily during the 6-week training. The training consists of three weekly sessions involving repeated high-intensity cycling intervals. The study includes multiple visits for familiarization, baseline testing, supervised training sessions, and post-intervention testing. Throughout the study, participants will undergo fitness tests, blood sampling, and complete questionnaires about sexual wellbeing. Key measures include aerobic capacity, blood lactate levels, heart rate, and serum analysis. After the final training session, participants will be followed up by phone to monitor any adverse effects, with total involvement spanning about eight weeks.
