The effects of beta-hydoxy-beta-methylbutyrate free acid supplementation on muscle damage, hormonal status, and performance following a high volume 2-week overreaching cycle

چکیده
Background Athletes exposed to extreme training loads such as those that occur during multiple-game tournaments, two a day practices, or sudden increases in volume are prone to overreaching. Beta-hydoxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) is thought to increase regenerative capacity following high intensity exercise. However, to date, its effects on muscle damage, hormonal status, and performance during overreaching have yet to be investigated. Therefore the purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of HMB free acid (HMB-FA) supplementation on indices of muscle damage, strength, power, and cortisol following a 2-week overreaching cycle.

Background Beta-hydoxy-beta-methyl butyrate (HMB) when given over a two-week period of time (loading phase) has been demonstrated to decrease skeletal muscle damage, and improve recovery. However, few studies have investigated its acute effects on muscle damage and recovery. Therefore the purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of short term free acid HMB (HMB-FA) supplementa...

Introduction Adenosine-Triphosphate (ATP) supplementation maintains performance and increases volume under high fatiguing contractions. However, greater fatigue increases recovery demands between training sessions. Studies utilizing HMB free acid (HMB-FA) supplementation suggest that the supplement speeds regenerative capacity. However, we are unaware of studies investigating whether synergism ...

Background Previous research in trained individuals supplemented with beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) has been constrained to short (<10 weeks), non-periodized studies, lacking dietary control, that were subject to poor outcome measures (e.g. skin caliper measurements). These conditions make it difficult to determine HMB’s effects in athletes. The primary purpose of this study was to inv...
