Variables were compared between recreational male and female runners ingesting carbohydrate + protein (CP) during the run (CPDuring, n = 8) versus those that were consuming carbohydrate (CHODuring, n = 8). In a second study, outcomes were compared between subjects who consumed CP or CHO immediately following exercise [CPPost (n = 4) versus CHOPost (n = 4)]. Magnitude-based inferences revealed no meaningful differences between treatments 24 h post-marathon. At 72 h, recovery [\u0394(72 hr-Pre)] was likely improved with CPDuring versus CHODuring, respectively, for Physical Energy (+14 \u00b1 64 vs \u221274 \u00b1 70 mm), Mental Fatigue (\u221252 \u00b1 59 vs +1 \u00b1 11 mm), and Soreness-D (+15 \u00b1 9 vs +21 \u00b1 70 mm). In addition, recovery at 72 h was likely-very likely improved with CPPost versus CHOPost for Physical Fatigue, Mental Energy, and Soreness-A. Thus, protein supplementation did not meaningfully alter recovery during the initial 24 h following a marathon. However, ratings of energy\/fatigue and muscle soreness were improved over 72 h when CP was consumed during exercise, or immediately following the marathon.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu10030333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,12]],"date-time":"2018-03-12T13:13:48Z","timestamp":1520860428000},"page":"333","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Protein Supplementation During or Following a Marathon Run Influences Post-Exercise Recovery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Michael","family":"Saunders","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA 22807, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Luden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA 22807, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cash","family":"DeWitt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA 22807, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melinda","family":"Gross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA 22807, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanda","family":"Dillon Rios","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA 22807, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"610","article-title":"Recovery from Run Training\u202f: Efficacy of a Carbohydrate-Protein Beverage\u202f?","volume":"15","author":"Warren","year":"2005","journal-title":"Int.
