Initial and final body weight (g), daily food intake (g/day) and estimated BCAA ingestion (mg/day) of experimental groups trained for 1 h (1H) or trained and submitted to exhaustion (EX), in animals that received a control, supplemented 1 (S1) or supplemented 2 (S2) diet.

1 Values are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). Probability value obtained by one way ANOVA followed by the Tukey HSD test. Values followed by the same superscript letters (a, b, c) are not statistically different (p < 0.05).
