The Effects of Protein Supplementation on Muscle Soreness in Athletes
I don't know any studies on, you know, showing that in a low protein intake, that there's more muscle soreness, in certain athletes. The best study i can think of, the most recent one, has done from the guys down at exeter une. They did combine protein with a polypenal supplementation but they've done the sort of most indept dive into the muscle following damage to see what's going on.
