简要总结
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).
详细描述
Intense, eccentric resistance exercise produces high mechanical forces leading to muscle damage, soreness, inflammation, and a loss of muscle function (J Sci Med Sport 2010;13:178-181). Limited evidence suggests that protein-amino acid supplementation before, during, and following damaging resistance exercise reduces muscle damage and accelerates recovery in resistance trained subjects (J Int Soc Sports Nutr 2012;9:20; Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab 2010;20:236-44; Appl Physiol Nutr Metab 2008;33:483-8).
Herbalife 24 Rebuild Strength is a protein-amino acid supplement recommended for use after resistance exercise to help rebuild muscle, speed recovery, support immune function, and promote muscle repair. (http://performancenutrition.herbalife.com/en/products/ rebuild-strength). A serving of Rebuild Strength (50.5 grams) contains 190 kilocalories, 24 grams of protein, 18 grams of carbohydrate, 1 gram of fat, and vitamins and minerals (C, E, B1, B6, B12, pantothenic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, chromium, sodium, potassium, all at 10% to 150% Daily Value levels). The 24 grams of protein per serving include whey and casein proteins, L-glutamine (3,000 mg), and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) (4,000 mg). (See nutrition label at the website).
Purpose: To determine if supplementation with Herbalife 24 Rebuild Strength (compared to placebo) before, during, and after a 90-minute bout of eccentric exercise can attenuate exercise-induced muscle damage, inflammation, and delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS), speed recovery of muscle function, and maintain innate immune function in NASCAR pit crew athletes (Hendrick Motor Sports).
Research design:
Subjects will be randomized to Rebuild Strength or placebo supplements (double blind administration in the same colored bottles, with the code held by Herbalife until the study is completed).
