Research methods:

Following ACC calcium supplementation, participants performed six sets of 10 repetitions using 80% of their maximum strength on the bench press (BP) and incline BP exercises

Research result:

The number of repetitions (p < 0.

Amplitude-based inference analysis (MBI) indicated that changes in the number of repetitions may be beneficial for the ACC at T4 and possibly at T5

Analysis conclusion:

Analysis conclusion:

ACC calcium supplementation may be beneficial in reducing muscle performance decline, possibly through the conversion of carbonate to pH-regulating bicarbonate to reduce inflammation and repair muscle, thereby reducing pain
