5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the 3 Branched Chained Amino Acids (isoleucine, leucine, and valine) on treating Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, a type of muscle pain which usually develops after exercising.
Detailed Description
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness is a common painful sensation experienced by individuals who have been recently inactive and begin with an unaccustomed exercise protocol. Branched Chained Amino Acids have been found as a useful supplement for promoting muscle recovery following exercise; however the effects of this supplement have not been investigated amongst individuals with diabetes.

Placebo Comparator
Intervention Type
Dietary Supplement
Intervention Name(s)
Branched Chained Amino Acids
Other Intervention Name(s)
Isoleucine, Leucine, and Valine
Intervention Description
Two doses of the Branched Chained Amino Acid supplement will be taken. The first dose will be taken 35 minutes before the intended exercise, and the other dose will be taken right after completing the exercise. The amount of the Branched Chained Amino Acid supplement administered to the subjects in the experimental group will vary from one person to the other but a total dose of 1 gram of BCAA per kilogram of lean body mass will be used. This dose will be divided in half and administered at the two specified occasions. The ratio of isoleucine, leucine, and valine will be 1:2.5:1 respectively
Intervention Type
Other
Intervention Name(s)
Cellulose Placebo mix
Intervention Description
The control group will also take 2 doses, 1 before the exercise, and the other after completing the exercise. This dose will be divided in half and administered at the two specified occasions.
