University of Central Florida
Summary
To examine the effects of once daily supplementation with 500mg VeriSperse® resveratrol (VRES) for 17 days on muscle function, delayed onset muscle soreness, systemic concentrations of muscular damage markers and markers of oxidative stress in resistance trained young adult males following a damaging isoinertial squat protocol (ISP).
