چکیده :

Abstract Background: Muscle injuries due to intense resistance training alter muscle protein structure and reduce strength, impacting performance and recovery. Omega-3 supplementation has been introduced as an option for reducing Muscle soreness and accelerating recovery after exercise due to its anti-inflammatory properties and positive effects on muscle protein synthesis. The aim of this research is to investigate the effects of 6 and 8 grams of omega-3 supplementation on Muscle soreness and recovery in trained strength athletes. Method: The study population consisted of 30 male athletes from the Nian Abi gym in Mashhad, all of whom had at least one year of resistance training experience. Participants were randomly divided into three groups: (1) receiving 6 grams of omega-3 per day, (2) receiving 8 grams of omega-3 per day, and (3) a placebo group. Muscle soreness was measured using a muscle soreness scale. Measurements were taken immediately before the exercise (Day 30) and on the first (Day 31), second (Day 32), and third (Day 33) days following the exercise. Repetitions to fatigue at 70% of the back squat were measured on both the day 1 and Day 33. Finding: The results of the data analysis using repeated measures ANOVA (SPSS version 26) showed that different doses of omega-3 had no significant effect on reducing Muscle soreness (p<0.05). Conclusion: These findings highlight the need to optimize omega-3 supplementation's dosage, timing, and formulation to enhance recovery and anti-inflammatory effects, with future research focusing on diverse populations and dosing strategies.
