5. The influence of different protein sources on acute muscle protein synthesis after strength training: a systematic review using standard and dose-dependent network meta-analysis.
About the work.
The study aims to evaluate the influence of different protein sources on muscle protein synthesis after strength training using systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The subjects of the study were healthy adults undergoing strength training and receiving a protein bolus.
Results.
In the standard meta-analysis, the highest effectiveness in stimulating muscle protein synthesis was shown by native whey protein, pea protein, whole egg protein, and mycoprotein, with only whey protein demonstrating a statistically significant effect.
4. Short-term supplementation improves premenstrual symptoms, reaction time, and perceived exertion in female taekwondo athletes: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study.
About the work.
The study aims to evaluate the effect of short-term supplementation of Rhodiola rosea extract on premenstrual symptoms and performance indicators in female taekwondo athletes with premenstrual syndrome. Changes in symptoms, reaction time, and perceived exertion were compared.
Results.
The Rhodiola rosea supplement significantly reduced several premenstrual symptoms, including irritability, depression, anxiety, social isolation, decreased concentration, hypersomnia, food cravings, crying, skin problems, and abdominal pain.
3. Load and breath-holding: the effect of a 7-day creatine loading on performance outcomes in breath-holding exercises - a double-blind randomized controlled study.
About the work.
The study aims to evaluate the effect of creatine loading on performance in breath-holding exercises in trained divers. A double-blind randomized design was used with creatine and placebo groups.
Results.
Significant interactions of time and group were observed for total work volume, time to exhaustion, and lean mass, with more pronounced changes after creatine supplementation compared to placebo. A significant interaction of time and group for lactate accumulation was also recorded, with greater changes in the placebo group compared to creatine.
