Beetroot juice is more beneficial than sodium nitrate for attenuating muscle pain after strenuous eccentric-bias exercise
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2017)The aim of this study was to compare the effects of beetroot juice (BTJ) and a nitrate only drink (sodium nitrate; SN) on indices of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Thirty recreationally active males consumed either ... -
Compression garments and recovery from exercise: a meta-analysis
(Springer, 2017)Background Adequate recovery from exercise is essential to maintain performance throughout training and competition. While compression garments (CG) have been demonstrated to accelerate recovery, the literature is clouded ... -
Cryotherapy reinvented: application of phase change material for recovery in elite soccer
(Human kinetics, 2018)Purpose: To examine whether donning lower-body garments fitted with cooled phase change material (PCM) would enhance recovery after a soccer match. Methods: In a randomized, crossover design, 11 elite soccer players from ... -
Effects of beetroot juice on recovery of muscle function and performance between bouts of repeated sprint exercise
(MDPI, 2016)This study examined the effects of beetroot juice (BTJ) on recovery between two repeated-sprint tests. In an independent groups design, 20 male, team-sports players were randomized to receive either BTJ or a placebo (PLA) ... -
Effects of seated and standing cold water immersion on recovery from repeated sprinting
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)This study investigated the effects of two different hydrostatic pressures (seated or standing) during cold water immersion at attenuating the deleterious effects of strenuous exercise on indices of damage and recovery. ... -
Influence of cold-water immersion on limb blood flow after resistance exercise
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)This study determined the influence of cold (8°C) and cool (22°C) water immersion on lower limb and cutaneous blood flow following resistance exercise. Twelve males completed 4 sets of 10-repetition maximum squat exercise ... -
Prolonging the duration of cooling does not enhance recovery following a marathon
(Wiley, 2020)Runners commonly utilize cryotherapy as part of their recovery strategy. Cryotherapy has been ineffective in mitigating signs and symptoms of muscle damage following marathon running and is limited by its duration of ... -
The effects of beetroot juice supplementation on indices of muscle damage following eccentric exercise
(Springer, 2016)Purpose Foods rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals might attenuate skeletal muscle damage; thus, the present study investigated whether consuming an antioxidant rich beetroot juice would attenuate the ... -
The effects of Montmorency tart cherry concentrate supplementation on recovery following prolonged, intermittent exercise
(MDPI, 2016)This study investigated Montmorency tart cherry concentrate (MC) supplementation on markers of recovery following prolonged, intermittent sprint activity. Sixteen semi-professional, male soccer players, who had dietary ...
