The Effects of Conjugated Linoleic Acid Supplementation during Resistance Training.
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise - Abstract: Volume 38(2) February 2006 p 339-348 The Effects of Conjugated Linoleic Acid Supplementation during Resistance Training.: "Abstract:
Purpose: We determined the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplementation during resistance training.
Methods: Seventy-six subjects were randomized to receive CLA (5 g[middle dot]d-1) or placebo (PLA) for 7 wk while resistance training 3 d[middle dot]wk-1. Seventeen subjects crossed over to the opposite group for an additional 7 wk. Measurements at baseline, 7 wk, and 14 wk (for subjects in the crossover study) included body composition, muscle thickness of the elbow flexors and knee extensors, resting metabolic rate (RMR), bench and leg press strength, knee extension torque, and urinary markers of myofibrillar degradation (3-methylhistidine (3MH) and bone resorption (cross-linked N-telopeptides (Ntx)).
Results: After 7 wk the CLA group had greater increases in lean tissue mass (LTM) (+1.4 vs +0.2 kg; P <>Conclusions: Supplementation with CLA during resistance training results in relatively small changes in body composition accompanied by a lessening of the catabolic effect of training on muscle protein."

Okay, so let me get this straight. First of all, I get anabolic and catabolic mixed up. Isn't anabolic when muscle grows and catabolic is where muscle is eaten? So CLA doesn't really help for supplementation during resistance training but at the same time cuts down on the catabolic effect on the muscles?
That's right. You got it straight;-)
Yeah, the previous study I posted has a kind of confusing conclusion.
Read the new one. It's independet (I think).
Alright, but what new one? There is no post after this one.
