Protocol summary

Study aim
The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of synbiotic supplementation on the biochemical indicators of muscle damage, inflammation and nutritional status in professional futsal athletes.
Design
double blind randomized controlled trial, with parallel groups
Settings and conduct
The design of the study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The number of 30 professional futsal athletes in the second league of the country will be included in the study after checking the entry and exit criteria. Synbiotic supplement capsules will be given to the intervention group and placebo containing starch daily for three months to the control group. Completing the demographic characteristics questionnaire at the beginning of the study, and completing the 3-day food recall questionnaires (including 2 normal days and 1 day off), physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ), anthropometric indices and body composition will be done at the beginning and end of the study.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
In this study, 30 male futsal players in the second division league of the country, aged 18-35, with at least 1 year of futsal sports experience and having at least 2-3 futsal training per week will be included in the study, but people who have intolerance and sensitivity to probiotics and similar products have or have specific muscle injuries and diseases, they will not be included in the study.
Intervention groups
The intervention and non-intervention groups will consume synbiotic supplements (probiotic + prebiotic) and placebo (containing starch) for three months, respectively.
Main outcome variables
biochemical indicators of muscle damage, inflammation and nutritional status

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Subjects will be grouped into two intervention groups (receiver of synbiotic supplement) and control group (receiver of placebo) by random block method and 1:1 allocation ratio. In order to conceal the allocation (Concealment Allocation), the allocation sequence was determined by a person not involved in the study and in a blinded manner using Randomizer (https://www.randomizer.org/) and the drugs and placebo were also in identical boxes on the back. They will be numbered together from 1 to 30. For the intervention group, Familact synbiotic supplement capsule and for the control group, placebo containing starch will be given daily for three months, and this drug delivery will be blinded and will be done by another person. Therefore, the participants, the person allocating the participants in the groups, the person delivering the supplement and placebo and the data collector, will be blinded and unaware of the type of capsules received by each participant.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this double-blind study, neither the researcher nor the participants will know whether each person will be in the intervention group or the control group. For blinding, synbiotic and placebo pills will be similar in appearance, packaging and labeling. Packaging and coding of the capsules will be done by the manufacturer.
