“Muscle soreness typically evaluated by means of a visual analog scale has not been significantly influenced by CP supplementation in four studies comprising 121 subjects, neither immediately post nor 24 h (4 studies, 127 subjects) and 48 h (5 studies, 135 subjects) after muscle-damaging exercise (post: ES − 0.21, p = 0.26, CI − 0.57 to 0.15; 24 h: ES − 0.05, p = 0.79, CI − 0.4 to 0.3; 48 h: ES 0.09, p = 0.7, CI − 0.38 to 0.57; Fig. 9).”
