Randomized Controlled Trial Investigates PeptiStrongâ„¢ Supplementation on Muscle Strength Recovery & Restoration After Resistance Exercise

Designs for Health

Therefore, strategies to support normal muscle restoration after resistance training while promoting muscle strength may help promote homeostasis. Muscle strength was assessed by two sets of five maximal effort repetitions of knee extension and flexion exercises 48 hours (day 16) and 72 hours (day 17) post-DOMS onset.
