Description
Summary:•EIMD and DOMS are induced from repeated drop jump exercise.•10days of tart cherry juice supplementation decreases perceived soreness.•ORAC is increased after 5days of TCW supplementation up to 48h post-exercise. Exercise induced muscle damage can increase perceived pain which may decrease adherence to an exercise program. Purpose: To determine the effects of tart cherry juice with whey protein (TCW) on recovery from plyometric exercise. Methods: Sixteen participants (10 male, 6 female, Age: 23±5years, Height: 171±13cm, Weight: 79±16kg) ingested two 240mL bottles of TCW or placebo beverage (PLA) twice daily for 10days. Participants completed 5×20 drop jumps on day 6. Results: Both groups experienced muscle soreness (TCW: 21mmvs. PLA: 33mm), elevated CK (305±176 UL) and LDH (196±19 UL) 24h post exercise. ORAC was significantly higher in TWC post supplementation (126±48μMvs. PLA: 58±46μM) and 48h post exercise (641±114μMvs. PLA: 314±113μM). Conclusion: TCW can increase ORAC and may attenuate perceived soreness.
