| Essential Amino Acids Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | Results The eccentric protocol elicited responses consistent with EIMD, including increased soreness ( p p p = 0.018). | 2 | Vasenina E (2026) | Effects of essential amino acid supplementation on musculotendinous recovery following eccentric plantar flexor exercise: a randomized controlled trial. |
| Essential Amino Acids Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | Calf muscle thickness increased following exercise in both groups; however, swelling returned to baseline by 72 hours in the EAA group but remained elevated in placebo (Condition × Time, p p = 0.005) but was not influenced by supplementation. | 2 | Vasenina E (2026) | Effects of essential amino acid supplementation on musculotendinous recovery following eccentric plantar flexor exercise: a randomized controlled trial. |
| Essential Amino Acids Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | Conclusions EAA supplementation modestly reduced soreness and was associated with faster recovery of muscle swelling but did not influence tendon morphology within 72 hours. | 2 | Vasenina E (2026) | Effects of essential amino acid supplementation on musculotendinous recovery following eccentric plantar flexor exercise: a randomized controlled trial. |
| Essential Amino Acids Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | Background Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) resulting from eccentric contractions leads to transient impairments in muscle function. | 2 | Vasenina E (2026) | Effects of essential amino acid supplementation on musculotendinous recovery following eccentric plantar flexor exercise: a randomized controlled trial. |
| Essential Amino Acids Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | 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. |
| Essential Amino Acids Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | 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. |
| Essential Amino Acids Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | 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. |
| Essential Amino Acids Muscle Recovery Randomized Trial | 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. |
