Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Inflammatory markersIt was measured before and after consumption of the supplement. In each of the times it was measured four times. Before performing the eccentric exercises, just after, at 24 and 48 hours later.

Changes in the inflammatory marker: C-reactive protein (ml / dl). It is measured in venous blood by blood extraction.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hematological variables: LEUCOCITS AND PLATESIt was measured before and after supplement consumption. In each of the times it was measured four times. 1: before performing the eccentric exercises, 2: just after, 3: at 24 hours after and 4: 48 hours later.

changes in the hematological profile. The samples are analyzed by the laboratory analyzer: BA 400 BioSystems

connective tissue injuryIt was measured before and after consumption of the supplement. In each of the times it was measured four times. Before performing the eccentric exercises, just after, at 24 and 48 hours later.

changes in markers of connective tissue injury: serum collagenase. They will be measured by blood extraction.

muscle damageIt was measured before and after consumption of the supplement. In each of the times it was measured four times. Before performing the eccentric exercises, just after, at 24 and 48 hours later.

Changes in markers of muscle damage will be measured by serum lactate dehydrogenase (IU / L)

Biochemical variablesIt was measured before and after consumption of the supplement. In each of the times it was measured four times. Before performing the eccentric exercises, just after, at 24 and 48 hours later.

changes in lipid profile: : basal glycemia(mg/dl), lipid profile: total cholesterol (mg / dl), high density lipoprotein (mg / dl), low density lipoprotein (mg / dl), triglycerides (mg / dl), atherogenic index.

Isokinetic variablesTwice. One, before the consumption of the product under study and another after the consumption of the product. It was measured after 10 weeks.

changes in isokinetic variables: Peak torque, peak torque or force moment in extension and flexion in the different muscles involved and at the different measurement moments .It is measured in volts.

Anthropometric variablesTwo measurements. One, before the consumption of the product under study and another at 8 weeks of product consumption.

Weight (Kg), size (cm), BMI kg / m2. Perimeters (measured in cm): (waist, hip, waist / hip index, relaxed biceps, contracted biceps, medial thigh, twin or calf).Folds (mm) (tricipítal, subscapular, suprailiac anterior or supraspinal, abdominal, quadricipital or thigh, leg or calf medial, bicipital, iliocrestal).

Diameters (cm) (radiocubital or wrist biestiloid, humeral or elbow bicpicondiolo, femoral or knee bicondiol).

Impedancemetric variablesTwo measurements. One, before the consumption of the product under study and another at 8 weeks of product consumption.

fat mass, total water, lean mass (measured in%), muscle mass, bone mass (kg), basal metabolism (KJ).

liver safety variablesIt was measured before and after consumption of the supplement. In each of the times it was measured four times. Before performing the eccentric exercises, just after, at 24 and 48 hours later. One year

It is a blood test that measures the presence of some enzymes, proteins and bilirubin in the blood, with the aim of determining if there is any alteration in the liver. Enzyme GPT, GOT, Gamma GT, LDH, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin (UI/L)

Variable for the evaluation of fatigue: Subjective perception test of Borg's effortat the end of the stress test with the multipower. It was measured three times. 1: at the end of the test, 2: at 24 hours, 3: at 48 hours.

change in the perception of fatigue

Perception of pain through the analog visual scale.at the end of the stress test with the multipower. It was measured three times. 1: at the end of the test, 2: at 24 hours, 3: at 48 hours.

changes in the perception of muscle pain. Muscle pain will be measured from 0 (no pain), to 10 (unbearable pain).
