topicGinger Exercise Recovery Randomized Trial
claimMethods In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial, 30 trained cyclists (27 male, 3 females, aged 36 ± 11 yr) completed three visits: a baseline 75 km time trial, a post-supplementation time trial, and a second post-supplementation trial under the alternate condition.
