These findings suggest that omega-3 supplementation decreases soreness, as a marker of inflammation, after eccentric exercise.
Subjects performed enough eccentric bicep curls to induce soreness, and those taking 3,000 mg of omega-3 supplement reported 15% less soreness than a previous trial. Arm circumference increased after eccentric exercise in the control trial but not in the omega-3 trial.
