The BCAA group maintained 95% of their peak isometric torque compared to 86% for the CHO group (p = 0.12). Regarding isokinetic measures at T2, there was a 92% and 88% maintenance for the BCAA and CHO group, respectively (p = 0.39), compared to their respective T1 values. T2 performance at 120º/s was maintained by 93% and 96% of T1 measurements for the BCAA and CHO group, respectively (p = 0.40). The BCAA group actually enhanced squat 1RM by 1%, whereas the CHO group experienced a 3% decrement; however, this difference failed to reach significance (p = 0.92). Serum myoglobin concentrations increased as a function of time, and there was no difference between groups (p = 0.31). Lastly, perceptions of muscular soreness were also not differentially altered between groups (p = 0.09).
