Acute carbohydrate consumption does not influence resistance exercise performance during energy restriction
Article Abstract:
Issues concerning the effect of a high-carbohydrate diet on resistance exercise performance during energy restriction are discussed. A group of 22 resistance-trained men was assigned to either carbohydrate, control, or placebo prior to testing, and carbohydrate prior to a resistance exercise but done in negative energy balance state did not affect performance or result in evidence of muscle damage.

Ingestion of tyrosine: Effects on endurance, muscle strength, and anaerobic performance
Article Abstract:
A study conducted examined 20 men who underwent two loadcarriage treadmill sessions, one after taking tyrosine and one after taking placebo. The results indicate that acute ingestion of tyrosine by healthy men has no measurable effect on endurance, muscle strength, or anaerobic power.
