Ingestion of an Amino Acid Electrolyte Beverage during Resistance Exercise Does Not Impact Fluid Shifts into Muscle or Performance
Sports | Free Full-Text | Ingestion of an Amino Acid Electrolyte Beverage during Resistance Exercise Does Not Impact Fluid Shifts into Muscle or Performance
Collectively, these data demonstrate no direct benefit or detriment of ingesting AAE beverages on exercise performance, fluid shifts into muscle, perceived muscle soreness and weakness, and serum CK levels over a non-caloric placebo. However, future studies should investigate the potential long-term effect of AAE beverages in combination with resistance exercise.
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of ingesting an amino acid-electrolyte (AAE) beverage during upper body resistance exercise on transient muscle hypertrophy, exercise performance, markers of muscle damage, and recovery
Findings:
The findings of this study suggest that the acute ingestion of a AAE beverage does not alter acute muscle thickness, performance, perceived soreness and weakness, or markers of muscle damage.
The beverage:
The amino acid content of the beverage investigated in this study provided four servings of 0.67 g L-Leucine, 0.32 g L-Isoleucine, 0.32 g L-Valine, 1 g L-Taurine, and 0.5 g L-Citrulline in addition to electrolytes.
^^^ Which is underdosed...... (2.4g L-Leucine, 1.2g L-Isoleucine, 1.2g Valine in 4 total servings)
