Why the study?
To determine whether L-citrulline supplementation augments blood lactate removal during active recovery following high-intensity exercise by promoting vasodilation.

L-citrulline does not improve lactate kinetics or performance during active recovery; challenges ergogenic claims and supports withholding supplementation in healthy adults.
Does L-citrulline supplementation improve blood lactate removal kinetics during active recovery in healthy university students?
