Effects of post-workout supplements and resistance training on serum metabolome, muscle strength and muscle hypertrophy

2017

Human metabolism is a complex mixture of different metabolites and metabolic pathways that are interrelated. Compared to standard biomarker assessments, metabolomics gives a broader perspective of the whole ensemble thus deepening the understanding of human physiology and pathophysiology. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of the effects of different post-exercise supplementation regimens and different resistance training programs on serum metabolome and resistance training adaptations. 60 healthy men volunteers (mean ± SD: age 32.6±6.7 y; height 1.80±0.1 m; weight 82.8±10.4 kg and BMI 25.5±3.0 kg/m2) were included in the study. All the participants went through a…
