Responses during electrically stimulated isometric contractions of the knee extensors. Table with measurements that were taken before (Pre) and after (0, 24, 48 and 72 h) 120 minutes of treadmill walking at 6.5 km·h-1 (n = 10) on a level gradient (0%) carrying a 25 kg backpack. Either a placebo beverage (PLA), carbohydrate (6.4%) beverage (CHO) or protein (7%) beverage (PRO) was consumed at 0 and 60 minutes (250 ml) during treadmill walking or twice daily (500 ml, morning and evening) for the 3 days after load carriage (n = 10). *, different from pre-value (P < 0.05).
