What this study is about

The study aims to investigate the effects of double-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled n3-fatty acid supplementation (1000 mg day-1) and 13 weeks of resistance training on muscle function/biology and systemic health in individuals with obesity (BMI\>30) and lean individuals (BMI\<30)

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.
