This study is focused on exploring the gap in the literature by comparing the effects of collagen protein versus placebo supplementation on the musculotendinous unit following muscle damaging protocol. Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify and compare the effect of collagen protein versus placebo supplementation on indirect markers of musculotendinous unit recovery following eccentric calf exercises.
Various physical assessments that include pain scale, pain pressure threshold assessment, body composition, calf circumference measurements, muscle thickness measurements, Achilles tendon length and thickness measurements, myotonography of the calf, isometric force assessments during standing and seated plantarflexion positions, a heel raise test, and a standardized exercise routine focused on eccentric movements, targeting a leg chosen at random. Additionally, will consume a daily dose of two 30-g amount of collagen peptides derived from bovine hide (commercially available as Vital Proteins o…
