Effects of 24 weeks of collagen supplementation in active adults: Impact on body composition, neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory fitness.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of hydrolyzed collagen supplementation on body composition, neuromuscular fitness and cardiorespiratory fitness in active subjects undergoing a 24-week training program. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 90 adults aged 45-65 with osteoarticular discomfort, including 45 men and 45 women. Participants received either 10g of hydrolyzed collagen enriched with minerals and vitamins (experimental group, EG), or a placebo (control group, CG), while following a twice-weekly training program. Physical performance was assessed through grip strength, squat jump (SJ), counter-movement jump (CMJ), and a cardiopulmonary exercise test. Biochemical and hematological analyses were also conducted.
