Effect of a selected amino acid mixture on the recovery from muscle fatigue during and after eccentric contraction exercise training

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2003 Feb;67(2):372-5. doi: 10.1271/bbb.67.372.

Abstract

The effect of an amino acid mixture on the recovery from muscle fatigue after eccentric exercise (ECEX) training was examined in twenty-two male college students. The administration of 5.6 g of the amino acid mixture twice daily resulted faster recovery of muscle strength than that with a placebo. The oral administration of the amino acid mixture was proved to effective for muscle strength recovery after the eccentric exercise.
