Acute Effects of Rhodiola Rosea and Caffeine on Mean Propulsive Velocity Loss in Resistance Training (Rhocaf2)

2026年11月4日 更新者:MARINA MEDINA CORRALES

The Acute Effects of 1,000 mg of Rhodiola Rosea and 3 mg/kg of Caffeine on Mean Propulsive Velocity Loss in Advanced Resistance-Trained Subjects: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if combined acute supplementation with Rhodiola rosea and caffeine is superior to single-ingredient intake or placebo in attenuating neuromuscular fatigue in advanced resistance-trained subjects.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does combined supplementation attenuate mean propulsive velocity loss during heavy resistance exercise? Does combined supplementation reduce ratings of perceived exertion and increase repetitions performed to failure?

Researchers will compare four experimental conditions (placebo, caffeine alone, Rhodiola rosea alone, and combined supplementation) in a randomized crossover design to see if co-ingestion provides superior anti-fatigue benefits.

Participants will:

Complete a familiarization session to establish individual strength baselines. Attend 4 testing visits separated by a 72-hour washout period. Ingest the assigned treatment before testing. Perform a back squat fatigue protocol (3 sets at 70% 1RM) and complete perceptual evaluations.The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if combined acute supplementation with Rhodiola rosea and caffeine is superior to single-ingredient intake or placebo in attenuating neuromuscular fatigue in advanced resistance-trained subjects.

調査の概要

詳細な説明

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, four-arm crossover trial designed to investigate the acute neuromuscular and ergogenic effects of single and combined supplementation with Rhodiola rosea (1,000 mg) and caffeine (3 mg/kg) in advanced resistance-trained subjects.

Neuromuscular fatigue during heavy resistance training impairs movement velocity, power output, and overall volume performance. While caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that enhances motor unit recruitment and reduces perceived exertion, Rhodiola rosea is an adaptogen proposed to modulate central monoamines and attenuate fatigue during high-intensity effort. This protocol evaluates whether co-ingestion provides a synergistic advantage over isolated administration or placebo in maintaining movement execution quality and accelerating acute recovery.

Study Procedures:

Familiarization Session: Prior to the experimental trials, participants complete a familiarization session to establish baseline measurements and estimate 1-repetition maximum (1RM) in the barbell back squat using a two-point load-velocity method (using loads corresponding to ~1.0 m/s and ~0.5 m/s) with a linear position transducer.

Experimental Trials (4 Visits): Participants complete four experimental testing visits in a randomized, counterbalanced order, separated by a 72-hour washout period.

During each of the 4 experimental visits, participants complete the following sequence:

Supplement Ingestion: Double-blind administration of the assigned treatment:

Rhodiola placebo consists of opaque cornstarch capsules. Caffeine placebo consists of a 60 mL liquid solution containing sweetener, 3 g of sugar, and 1 g of citric acid.

Active conditions consist of 1,000 mg of Rhodiola rosea and/or 3 mg/kg of caffeine.

Pre-Exercise Evaluation: Completion of baseline perceptual questionnaires. Velocity Determination: Identification of the exact load corresponding to a Mean Propulsive Velocity (MPV) of 1.0 ± 0.03 m/s in the back squat.

Acute Fatigue Protocol: Execution of 3 sets at 70% estimated 1RM in the back squat performed to muscular failure, recording total repetitions and velocity loss across sets.

Post-Fatigue Velocity Recovery: Re-assessment of MPV using the pre-determined 1.0 m/s load at exactly 1 minute and 2 minutes post-fatigue protocol to evaluate acute neuromuscular fatigue and velocity recovery.

Perceptual Evaluation: Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) recorded post-exercise.
