Taurine in sports and exercise
There are mixed findings for the effect of taurine consumption on improving recovery from training bouts and/or mitigating muscle damage and limited and varied findings prohibit definitive conclusions regarding the efficacy of tauri on aerobic and anaerobic performance and metabolic outcomes.
Abstract
Limited and varied findings prohibit definitive conclusions regarding the efficacy of taurine on aerobic and anaerobic performance and metabolic outcomes. There are mixed findings for the effect of taurine consumption on improving recovery from training bouts and/or mitigating muscle damage. The timing of taurine ingestion as well as the type of exercise protocol performed may contribute to the effectiveness of taurine as an ergogenic aid. More investigations are needed to better understand the potential effects of taurine supplementation on aerobic and anaerobic performance, muscle damage, metabolic stress, and recovery.
