Acute Resistance Exercise and Hydrolyzed Collagen Supplementation

"Each intervention lasts for seven hours and while participants consumed HC, performed resistance exercise and rested, 10 x 5 mL blood samples were collected from a superficial forearm vein using a cannula.~All interventions were performed at the same time of day (08:00 - 15:00).~Different doses of HC (0 grams, 15 grams and 30 grams) and 50 milligrams vitamin C were dissolved with 250 milliliter water in an opaque bottle. To match calories of 30 grams HC, 34.1 grams and 15.4 grams maltodextrin was used in 0 grams HC and 15 grams HC respectively. Also to mask any potential difference in HC doses, 4 grams non-caloric sweetener was used in all HC doses.~The details of dietary supplements used are as follows:~Hydrolysed collagen (Myprotein, Cheshire, UK), Vitamin C powder (Holland and Barrett Retail Limited, Warwickshire, UK), Maltodextrin (Myprotein, Cheshire, UK), and Non-caloric sweetener (Truvia®, SilverSpoon, London, UK)"
