چکیده
Methods 22 males (24.9 ± 4.4) completed 4 exercise test visits, each involving an exhaustive exercise protocol intended to induce muscle soreness (30 minutes, -10 degree decline, 75% HRmax) and 4 hours later, a TTE performance trial. In a crossover, partially double-blinded manner, subjects were provided 2 servings of the beverage (11-13.7 oz), 15 minutes and 2 hours after the exhaustive exercise. Muscle recovery was assessed via the rate of return to baseline of CPK and LDH over the 72-hour post exercise period. Exercise test visits were at least 1 week apart to allow for muscle recovery.
