Effects of load carriage, conventional endurance exercise, and essential amino acid supplementation on surrogate markers of muscle damage and muscle soreness during recovery.

Data are mean ± SD, n = 10 per group. CE, conventional endurance exercise; LC, load carriage; CON, control; and EAA, essential amino acids; PE, post-exercise. Mode x time (M x T) interaction for deltoids, gluteus, and creatine kinase. Mode (M) and time (T) main effects for quadriceps, lactate dehydrogenase, and myoglobin. M and T effects indicate overall mean difference between modes and time, P *Different from baseline (or 15-min PE) within mode and†corresponding time point for CE, M x T, P Effects of load carriage, conventional endurance exercise, and essential amino acid supplementation on surrogate markers of muscle damage and muscle soreness during recovery.
