Summary

This study tests whether drinking Saskatoon berry juice for a short time helps muscles recover after intense exercise. Thirty healthy adults aged 18 to 35 will drink either berry juice or a placebo, then do muscle-damaging exercises. Researchers will measure changes in strength, muscle thickness, and soreness to see if the berries make a difference.
