Nutritional Supplement, Eccentric Exercise and Recovery
Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2 · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Injury, Inflammation
In brief
The objectives of this study are to assess the effectiveness of a nutritional supplement on muscle functional recovery following induced muscle damage from high intensity resistance exercise. The investigators hypothesize that a short-term dietary supplementation will significantly improve muscle functional recovery following an intense bout of eccentric exercise compared to a placebo.
