Evaluation of Pine Bark Extract for Anti-fatigue Ergogenic Properties

This research proposal aims to elucidate the physiological responses to pine bark extract supplementation during a single bout of high-intensity cycling exercise at 70% VO₂max and the subsequent recovery phase. Specifically, the study seeks to investigate the underlying mechanisms by which pine bark extract modulates exercise-induced fatigue and metabolic fitness, and to determine whether such supplementation may enhance endurance performance in the post-recovery period.
