At least that's what a paper from Pennsylvania State University suggest. - Chronic alpha-hydroxyisocaproic acid treatment improves muscle recovery after immobilization-induced atrophy | Endocrinology and Metabolism
Researchers concluded that HICA may speed recovery via a increased rate of protein synthesis
These findings are in line with the Mero et al., paper on wrestlers. An increase in the rate of protein synthesis would explain why the wrestlers experienced reduced DOMS and how they increased muscle mass.
