Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if CoQ10 amplifies endurance training-induced myokine and exerkine secretion and if those changes influences cognition in long-distance runners.
Does 4-week high-dosage CoQ10 supplementation increase the secretion of myokine, exerkine sercetion? Does the above-mentioned intervention improve the cognitive function in long distance runners?
Participants will:
Take CoQ10 or a placebo every day for 4 weeks. Visit the laboratory once every 4 weeks for checkups and tests. Keep their food and training diary.
