Protein and Recovery From Exercise-induced Muscle Damage

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Muscle Damage, Inflammation

In brief

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).
