Summary

From the recent scientific literature in the field of biological response to physical exercise, a significant increase in muscle damage, soreness and inflammation were registered immediately and even 48 after resistance exercise. In the other hand, from the recent scientific literature in the field of nutrition it is well established that Pomegranate juice is a potent antioxidant that can help prevent or treat various disease risk factors. However, only few studies associated the effect of the pomegranate with the physical exercise. To the authors' knowledge, there are no studies investigated the acute and delayed effect of pomegranate supplementation in performance and muscle recovery after exercises involved muscle of whole body. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of natural Pomegranate juice supplementation on the acute and delayed response of muscle soreness and biochemical parameters following weightlifting training session

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Natural Pomegranate Juice

Supplements (1500ml) of pomegrenate juice (POMj) were taken three times daily in the 48h which proceed the first tested training sessions (i.e. 250ml × 6 times with 8-h intervals between it). Moreover, during this tested sessions, subject consumed an additional 500ml of POMj. Arm-specific: Experimental: 9 elite weightlifter
