Introduction: The present study was conducted to assess the effect of BCAA supplementation on serum C - reactive protein, after acute resistance exercise in soccer players.
Methods: 20 soccer players in a randomized one-blind design completed in random 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions of 7 exercises. Subjects were randomized to two ten-member groups and consumed 200 mg. kg-1 BW of either BCAA or dextrin (placebo) 30 minutes prior to exercise. To identify HS-CRP, venous blood samples were obtained 30 min prior to and immediately following exercise and at 1 hr, 2 hrs, 24hrs post exercise. Data were analyzed using 2-way repeated measure ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc test.
Results: Baseline serum values for Hs-CRP were not statistically different between groups in the 30 minutes before the exercise test (P>0.05). However there were significant increases (P<0.05) between the pre exercise and post exercise values for Hs-CRP from 24 hrs posttest, (P<0.05(. Importantly, the BCAA supplementation significantly reduced this Hs-CRP 24hrs post-test (P<0.05(.
Conclusion: These results indicate that supplementary BCAA decreased serum concentrations of the inflammation biomarker Hs-CRP following resistance exercise. This observation suggests that BCAA supplementation may reduce the inflammation biomarker associated with resistance exercise.
