2.6. Supplementation Protocol


During T1 and T2, the subjects orally ingested an identical looking and equivalent amount (6 g) of citrulline malate (CM) or placebo-cornstarch (PL) dissolved in 200 mL of water. CM and PL were analyzed and confirmed for purity prior to the study




In conclusion, CM supplementation (6 g dose at 60 min pre-workout) does not improve muscle recovery from a single session of high-intensity RE in untrained young adult men. Therefore, it is premature to recommend free CM supplementation as an ergogenic aid to improve muscle recovery after RE. Future studies are required to assess the effects of CM in other populations (e.g., elderly and/or women) with different training status (e.g., recreational practitioners and/or athletes)
