Fig. 2From: Post-exercise branched chain amino acid supplementation does not affect recovery markers following three consecutive high intensity resistance training bouts compared to carbohydrate supplementationT1 and T2 squat and isometric peak torque values. No main time effect or group*time interaction was observed for 1RM squat (panel a). A main time effect was observed for isometric peak torque (panel d), and dependent t-tests revealed a significant decrease in the variable in the CHO group (p ≤ 0.001), while there was no decrease in the BCAA-CHO group (p = 0.08). Individual responses are plotted for squats (panel b and c) and isometric torque (panel e and f).
