Introduction
muscle damage
During annual training cycles, swimmers periodically undertake high-intensity training interventions. Sprint interval training (SIT) is one of the frequently used intensive interventions by swimmers [The supramaximal intensity of SIT undertaking the musculoskeletal system to great strain can elicit muscle damage [Studies have revealed that protein ingestion before, during, or following exercise can improve recovery and training adaptations while minimizing exercise-induced catabolism [Emerging evidence suggests that there may be potential advantages to consuming protein just before sleeping overnight [
