Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Fish oils mainly compose of polyunsaturated fatty acids including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Because EPA is especially reported for high anti-inflammatory activity, EPA-rich fish oil may possess the effect on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
The purpose of this study is investigating the influence of EPA for DOMS following eccentric contractions.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

I. After ingestion of tested materials for 8 weeks, subjects perform eccentric contraction with elbow flexors.
Before ECC, at 0, 1,2,3,5days after ECC
1. maximal isometric torque
2. range of motion
3. upper arm circumference
4. muscle soreness measured as a visual analog scale
5. blood test creatine kinase, myoglobin,IL-6, TNF-alpha
II. work output of elbow flexors during ECC

Key secondary outcomes

Before and after ingestion of tested materials, weight, height and body fat percentage

Results

MVC was significantly higher in the EPA group than in the PL group at 2 - 5 days after exercise (p < 0.05). ROM
was also significantly greater in the EPA group than in the
PL group at 1 - 5 days after exercise (p < 0.05). At only
3 days after exercise, muscle soreness of the brachialis
was significantly greater in the PL group than in the EPA
group (p < 0.05), with a concomitant increase in serum
IL-6 levels in the PL group.

Baseline Characteristics

Healthy men

Participant flow

Twenty-four healthy men were randomly assigned to consume the EPA + DHA supplement (EPA, n = 12) or placebo (PL, n = 12) by the double-blind method. Participants consumed EPA + DHA or placebo supplement for 8 weeks prior to exercise and continued it until 5 days after exercise.

Adverse events

Nothing

Outcome measures

MVC torque, ROM, upper arm circumference, muscle soreness as well as serum creatine kinase, myoglobin, IL6, and TNF levels in blood
