The purpose of this study will be to test whether a new way of weight training is more effective than typical weight training. The investigators expect that this new way will cause more exercise-induced muscle damage, which helps people build bigger muscles. Another purpose of this study will be to explore perceptions of how muscle soreness impacts participant activities of daily living.
To investigate the effect of Vicia faba protein concentrate, a protein derived from Fava bean extract, on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Participants receive either 2.4g/day of PeptiStrong® supplement capsules or placebo capsules for 14 days until a strenuous exercise session. For the last 3 days, 2/3 of them stay on the same treatment and 1/3 of them switch from placebo to PeptiStrong®.
The primary goal of this investigation is to assess whether Solarplast (R) supplementation will improve recovery following heavy resistance exercise in active adults. The primary questions to be addressed are: Does Solarplast (R) decrease muscle damage and inflammation associated with heavy resistance exercise? Does Solarplast (R) reduce the decline in performance associate with heavy resistance exercise? Researchers will compare Solarplast (R) to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if Solarplast (R) is effective at improving recovery. Participants will be asked to: Take Solarplast (R) or placebo daily for 4 weeks Visit the laboratory at least once per week to receive their supplement Report to the lab for 3 consecutive visits following supplementation to complete a heavy resistance training session and follow-up testing.
