3 g of pure taurine (capsule) every day in the morning before breakfast, during an eight-week period
|
No changes in energy expenditure or swimming performance; ↑ in plasma taurine and lactate concentrations

.5 g·kg/BW/day
|
One capsule per day for a total of 21 days, beginning 14 days before the eccentric protocol and continuing throughout the 7-day postexercise period
|
↑ strength levels and thiol total content; ↓ muscle soreness, LAD level, CK activity, and oxidative damage; Antioxidant enzymes and inflammatory markers, and IL-10 were not altered during the recovery period compared with the placebo group

First part: 1.66 g. Second part: 5 g/day and 6 g/day of placebo
|
First part: Seven days of oral taurine (1.66 g) supplementation with breakfast and lunch. Second part: cycled for 2 h after 7 days of placebo ingestion (6 g glucose/day) and again following 7 days of T (5 g/day)
|
No difference in muscle glycogen or other muscle metabolites between conditions; ↑ the appearance of AA following exercise; A 13-fold ↑ increase in plasma taurine concentration; No aerobic effects

Subjects were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 6), and given a placebo, taurine (4 g/day), carnitine (4 g/day), or glutamine (4 g/day) tablets for 2 weeks.
|
↑ TTE (6.9 min or 9.0 min longer) at 75% of VO2max; ↓ serum Pi concentration measured at all-out state (14% ↓)

Completed 60 eccentric contractions of the biceps brachii muscle at maximal effort. Following this, participants were supplemented with 0.1 g/kg/BW of either taurine or rice flour in capsules; evening.
|
Significant ↓ in all performance measures from pre- to 24-h post-eccentric exercise (p < 0.001) for both taurine and placebo; No effects in CK levels

Placebo + placebo [placebo], BCAA + placebo, placebo + taurine, and BCAA + taurine [combined]) and given a combination of 3.2 g BCAA (or placebo) and 2.0 g taurine (or placebo), three times a day, for two weeks prior to and three days after eccentric elbow flexor exercises
|
↓ exercise-induced DOMS and muscle damage

After the first exercise test, the subjects received supplements of a daily dose of 6 g (2 g three times a day) taurine powder for 7 days prior to the second exercise test. After 7-day of taurine supplementation, an identical exhaustive test procedure was repeated at the same time of day
|
↓ serum TBARS before exercise (p < 0.05) and resulted in a significantly ↓ DNA migration 24 h after exercise (p < 0.01). Significant ↑ VO2max, ↑ exercise TTE, and ↑ maximal workload in test with taurine supplementation (p < 0.05); ↑ taurine concentration
