EPA/DHA supplements: The supplement will be administered in a dose of 4 capsules twice a day for 4 weeks. Each capsule will contain 330mg EPA and 220mgDHA.
ALA supplements: The supplement will be administered in a dose of 4 capsules twice a day for 4 weeks. Daily dose will contain 3500mg ALA.
Placebo supplements: The supplement will be administered in a dose of 4 capsules twice a day for 4 weeks. One capsule will contain 550 mg of olive oil. The placebo will be matched to the supplement in appearance.
Study summary
Therefore, the aim of our project will be to assess the impact of omega-3 fatty acid on the neuromuscular system (muscle tensomyography- TMG), the composition and fluidity of erythrocyte cell membranes, the lipid profile and the antioxidant status of the blood.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Omega 3 index — 4-weeks The Omega-3 Index (%) determines the content of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) relative to total fatty acids in erythrocyte membranes. It is expressed as a percentage and reflects long-term fatty acid intake.
