topicOmega-3 Resistance Exercise Muscle Protein Synthesis Randomized Trial
claimExercise‐induced muscle damage is commonly characterized by increased creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, myoglobin, delayed‐onset muscle soreness, reduced maximal voluntary contraction, impaired range of motion, and decreased jump, sprint, or strength performance.
