Assessment

Primary outcomes

1. After ingestion of tested materials for 8 weeks, subjects perform eccentric contraction (ECC) with elbow flexors. During ECC,
1) electromyogram
2) isotonic contraction torque

2. After ingestion of tested materials for 8 weeks, subjects perform eccentric contraction (ECC) with elbow flexors. Before and after ECC,
1) ultrasonic imaging analysis for elbow flexors
2) reactivity of electrical micro-stimulation
3) maximal isometric contraction torque
4) range of motion
5)muscle soreness measured as a visual analog scale
6)muscle soreness measured by algesiometer

Key secondary outcomes

1. After ingestion of tested materials for 8 weeks, subjects perform eccentric contraction (ECC) with elbow flexors. During ECC, analyzing ultrasonic imaging for elbow flexors.

2. After ingestion of tested materials for 8 weeks, subjects perform eccentric contraction (ECC) with elbow flexors. Before and after ECC,
testing blood makers (creatine kinase, myoglobin, IL-6, TNF-alpha).

Results

Compared with the control group, M-wave latency was significantly shorter in the fish oil group immediately after exercise (p = 0.040), MVC torque was significantly higher at 1 day after exercise (p = 0.049), ROM was significantly greater at post and 2 days after exercise (post; p = 0.006, day 2; p = 0.014), and there was significantly less delayed onset muscle soreness at 1 and 2 days after exercise (day 1; p = 0.049, day 2; p = 0.023).

Baseline Characteristics

Healthy men

Participant flow

The subjects were randomly assigned to the fish oil group (n = 10) or control group (n = 11). The fish oil group consumed eight 300-mg EPA-rich fish oil softgel capsules (containing, in total, 600 mg EPA and 260 mg DHA) per day for 8 weeks before the exercise, and continued this for a further 5 days. The control group consumed an equivalent number of placebo capsules.

Adverse events
