Abstrakt: Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the difference between the extent of muscle damaging exercise on muscle function variables of vegans and omnivores.
Methods: Twenty recreationally trained participants completed the study. Participants were assigned to either vegan ( n  = 10) or omnivore ( n  = 10) groups. Subjects completed a consent visit followed by 2 visits consisting of running exercise sessions and test familiarization. They returned to the laboratory for visit 4 3-5 days after visit 3 to complete the testing battery. Following the testing, the participants performed a downhill run on the treadmill at -15% grade and approximately 70% of their speed at VO2peak and repeated the testing battery upon completion. Participants were asked to track their food intake. Visits 5, 6, and 7 took place 24, 48, and 72 h following the downhill running protocol, respectively, and consisted of the same testing battery used during visit 4. The detection of differences was performed using two-way (group x time) mixed factorial ANOVA with repeated measures.
Results: No group x time interactions were noted for running economy or any of the dependent variables. Main effects of time were found for muscle thickness ( p <.001) with small effect sizes (d=-0.194 to d=-0.265), pain pressure threshold ( p =.002) with medium effect sizes ( d =.460 to d =.461), NPRS scale ( p <.001) with large effect sizes (d = -0.776 to d=-1.520), and jump height ( p <.002) with small to medium effect sizes ( d =.304 to d =.438). Nutritional analysis compared the two groups revealed no difference ( p >.05) between relative intake of macronutrients and that both exceeded typical recommendations for protein (vegan group - 1.4 g/kg, omnivore group - 1.6 g/kg).
Conclusion: The lack of differences in recovery between the groups suggests that nutritional adequacy may play a role in recovery. Recovery from downhill running might be influenced by several factors beyond diet, such as exercise protocol intensity, individual fitness levels, and age.
