Effects of ReWin(d) Supplementation on the Recovery of DOMS Induced by Acute Exercice

Effects of Dietary Supplementation With ReWin(d) on the Recovery of Young Athletes Suffering From Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness Induced by Acute Exercice: A Pilot Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Trial

The study will assess the recovery and performance of young athletes suffering from muscle damage induced by physical exercise. Model by comparing the safety and efficacy of ReWin(d) supplemention during 4 weeks to placebo over 72 hours post exercice.

Double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, parallel group, pilot safety and efficacy study.

40 healthy young male athetes were randomly assigned to the ReWin(d) or Placebo group. After 4 weeks supplementation (either 2 g daily of ReWin(d) capsules or placebo capsules). the participants were subjected to a 1 hour plyometric exercise session to induce DOMS. At 0 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours post exercise, the volunteers have been assessed to determine: (i) pain perception, (ii) fatigue rate, (iii) sport performance (effectiveness of a jump) and (iv) muscle damage and inflammation by I-R thermography and biomarkers
