topicBoron Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial
claim1 2 3 4 Highly intense physical exercise and athletic performance lead to exercise-induced muscle damage and increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in oxidative stress, greater muscle inflammation, decreased strength, muscle soreness, and a potentially increased risk of injuries in the future [,,,].
