Summary

This study investigated the effects of CarnipureTM, a high-quality L-carnitine ingredient, on long term (5 weeks) recovery, muscle damage, and SOD status in a population of males and females while training two days per week. The primary outcomes defining recovery were changes in serum creatine kinase levels and perceptual changes in recovery. Supporting variables included an assessment of strength and power as a functional indicator of recovery. This study would be the first to examine the effects of CarnipureTM on long-term recovery. Our primary hypothesis was that L-carnitine supplementation would reduce muscle damage and improve perceptual measures of recovery. Our secondary hypotheses were that L-carnitine supplementation would better sustain strength and power and elevate SOD status.
