Effects of Plyometric Training on Blood Lactate and Oxygen Saturation During Recovery in Adolescent Muay Thai Athletes

This study examined whether adding eight weeks of plyometric training, including jumping exercises, to regular Muay Thai training affected blood lactate levels and blood oxygen saturation during recovery after a Muay Thai bout. Twenty male adolescent athletes were randomly assigned to two groups. One group completed additional plyometric training, while the other continued regular Muay Thai training alone. Blood lactate and oxygen saturation were measured at 5 and 20 minutes after the bout, both before and after the eight-week training period. Changes were compared between the two groups.

Effect of Chickpea Protein Hydrolysate Supplementation on Muscle Damage and Inflammatory Plasma Markers During a Football Tournament: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Trial

This randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study evaluated the safety and potential beneficial effects of a beverage containing chickpea protein hydrolysate in football players. Participants received the chickpea protein hydrolysate beverage and a matched protein-containing placebo beverage during two four-week intervention periods separated by a two-week washout period. The study assessed biochemical safety parameters, antioxidant status, inflammatory biomarkers, lipid profile, lipid peroxidation, muscle damage markers, dietary intake, and body composition.

A Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Effects of Peptide Gummies on Markers of Inflammation, Physical Performance, and Recovery

This study will evaluate the effects of Parlay Recover peptide gummies (containing Body Protection Compound BPC-157) on markers of inflammation, physical performance, and recovery in physically active adults. Over an 8-week period, 40 participants will consume two gummies daily and complete questionnaires at Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, and Week 8, as well as undergo blood testing at Baseline and Week 8. The primary objective is to examine changes in inflammatory biomarkers (hs-CRP and IL-6) as measured by blood testing. Secondary objectives include evaluating participants' self-reported perceptions of the product's effects on physical performance and recovery, including aching, stiffness, function, and recovery of muscles and joints.
