Co-ingestion of carbohydrate and pea protein does not enhance muscle recovery after strenuous exercise

Abstract

A B S T R A C T ObjectiveTo assess the influence of carbohydrate and added pea protein concentrate supplementation on muscle recovery after a military operation called Leader's Reaction Test. MethodsTwenty-four soldiers from the Brazilian Army were divided into three equal groups (n=8). They received either carbohydrate (0.8.g/kg body weight/h), carbohydrate+carbohydrate (1.0.g/kg body weight/h), or carbohydrate+protein (0.8 g/kg body weight/h of carbohydrate + 0.2 g/kg body weight/h of protein), immediately, 60, and 120 minutes after the Leader's Reaction Test. Prior, immediately after and 24 hours after the Leader's Reaction Test, maximal isometric strength and body composition were assessed. Blood samples were also collected for later analysis of concentrations of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase. ResultsTwenty-four hours after the Leader's Reaction Test, maximal creatine kinase levels were significantly lower than its levels immediately after (501.00 ± 422.09 versus 275.29 ± 242.08 U/L (carbohydrate); 616.88 ± 291.45

Empirical rheology of wheat flour doughs with pea, soybean and whey protein isolates

“…Stone et al (2014) also highlighted the contents of these amino acids in PPIs from different cultivars and extraction methods. In addition to these amino acids, PPI is also a source of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) such as leucine, isoleucine, and valine (Coutinho et al, 2014). In our study, BCAA content of PPI accounted for 20.08 g/100 g protein.…”
