Protein and Recovery From Exercise-induced Muscle Damage

NCT02034721 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2016-12-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Intense, eccentric resistance exercise causes muscle damage, soreness, inflammation, and a loss of muscle function. Protein-amino acid supplementation before, during, and following damaging resistance exercise may reduce muscle damage and accelerate recovery. This study will determine if supplementation with Herbalife 24 Rebuild Strength (compared to placebo) before, during, and after a 90-minute bout of eccentric exercise attenuates exercise-induced muscle damage, inflammation, and delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS), speeds recovery of muscle function, and maintains immune function in NASCAR pit crew athletes (Hendrick Motor Sports).
