| Branched-Chain Amino Acid Muscle Soreness Meta-Analysis | To assess whether a low-protein vegan diet is associated with differences in recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) in physically active individuals. | 4 | Mendes-Netto RS (2026) | Similar Muscle Recovery but Greater Soreness in Active Vegans on Low-Protein Diets Compared to High-Protein Omnivores Following Exercise-Induced Damage. |
| Branched-Chain Amino Acid Muscle Soreness Meta-Analysis | Protein intake was significantly lower in vegans (0.98 g/kg) compared to omnivores (2.14 g/kg), along with reduced intake of essential amino acids and, specifically, branched-chain amino acids (p ≤ 0.05). | 4 | Mendes-Netto RS (2026) | Similar Muscle Recovery but Greater Soreness in Active Vegans on Low-Protein Diets Compared to High-Protein Omnivores Following Exercise-Induced Damage. |
| Branched-Chain Amino Acid Muscle Soreness Meta-Analysis | CK levels increased immediately after EIMD and peaked at 24 h, remaining elevated relative to baseline in both groups (p ≤ 0.05). | 4 | Mendes-Netto RS (2026) | Similar Muscle Recovery but Greater Soreness in Active Vegans on Low-Protein Diets Compared to High-Protein Omnivores Following Exercise-Induced Damage. |
| Branched-Chain Amino Acid Muscle Soreness Meta-Analysis | Physically active vegans (n = 7) and omnivores (n = 7) underwent a lower-body muscle damage protocol consisting of five sets of repetitions to failure using the Smith machine squat and leg press at 85% of one-repetition maximum (1RM). | 4 | Mendes-Netto RS (2026) | Similar Muscle Recovery but Greater Soreness in Active Vegans on Low-Protein Diets Compared to High-Protein Omnivores Following Exercise-Induced Damage. |
| Branched-Chain Amino Acid Muscle Soreness Meta-Analysis | Next, we integrate evidence on the ergogenic effects of various dietary interventions with existing knowledge on the perception of effort. | 4 | Strasser B (2026) | Dietary interventions interact with the perception of effort and enhance endurance performance: a brief narrative review. |
| Branched-Chain Amino Acid Muscle Soreness Meta-Analysis | Beta-alanine, caffeine or carbohydrate mouth rinsing are examples of evidence-based ergogenic aids. | 4 | Strasser B (2026) | Dietary interventions interact with the perception of effort and enhance endurance performance: a brief narrative review. |
| Branched-Chain Amino Acid Muscle Soreness Meta-Analysis | Conclusion While current evidence supports a key role for dietary interventions on endurance performance by influencing individuals' perceived effort, more research is needed to determine the optimal doses and precise formulations for different sports, in order to employ a personalized strategy. | 4 | Strasser B (2026) | Dietary interventions interact with the perception of effort and enhance endurance performance: a brief narrative review. |
| Branched-Chain Amino Acid Muscle Soreness Meta-Analysis | Background Exercise tolerance is a pivotal factor in determining athletic competitive success, as well as mobility and quality of life in elderly individuals and those afflicted by chronic ailments. | 4 | Strasser B (2026) | Dietary interventions interact with the perception of effort and enhance endurance performance: a brief narrative review. |
