Author(s): Bakhtyar Tartibian* and Bagher Rezaei
β-Hydroxy-β-Methylbutyrate Free Acid (HMB-FA) has been reported to improve skeletal muscle recovery after high-intensity exercise and attenuate blood markers of skeletal muscle damage. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of HMB-FA supplementation on physiological recovery markers in elite wrestlers. Twenty elite healthy wrestlers (aged 19-26 years) were randomly assigned to Exercise+HMB-FA (EXE+S, n=10) and Exercise+Placebo (EXE+P, n=10) groups for a simulated wrestling protocol. Compared to the EXE+P group, the EXE+S group showed significant decreases in physiological recovery markers such as Creatinine (Cr), 3-Methylhistidine (3-MH), urinary 3-Methylhistidine/Creatinine ratio (3-MH/CR), Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), and Creatine Kinase (CK), with noticeable reductions (p<0.05). Additionally, there were significantly reduce in cortisol, and signifi.. View More»
