Effect of short-term taurine consumption on muscular strength and responses of muscle damage markers and hs-CRP following a single session of resistance exercise in resistance trained men

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of short-term use of taurine supplementation on muscle strength and response of muscle injury indices and hs-CRP with one session of intense resistance activity in resistance training men.

20 resistance training men (age: 25.60 33 3.33 years and body mass index: 25.75 36 1.36 kg / m2) were selected as the available sample and randomly divided into two complementary groups of taurine and placebo. Were. The first and second blood samples were collected before and after the first HIRE session, respectively. Subjects then took 3 1000 mg capsules of supplement or placebo daily for 2 weeks and followed their usual exercises, the volume and intensity of which were similar between the two groups. Intragroup changes were analyzed using dependent t-test and changes in blood factors were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test. Also, intergroup differences were examined by independent t-test.

Findings showed that CK values before supplementation and after supplementation, LDH before supplementation and after supplementation were statistically significant. Plasma changes in hs-CRP before and after supplementation were not statistically significant. Also, no significant difference was seen between the two groups in any of the measured variables.

2 weeks of taurine intake appears to have a significant effect on maximal strength of upper and lower torso muscles as well as hs-CRP response and CK and LDH enzymes of trained men with no resistance following a HIRE session.
