MusclePharm Corporation (OTCBB: MSLP), a nutritional supplement company focusing on all categories of an active lifestyle, today announced that the peer-reviewed journal, Nutrition and Metabolism, published a scientific paper showing positive results on the Phase 1 clinical trial of the company's pre-workout supplement, Assault™.

Conducted at the United States Sports Academy (USSA) (www.ussa.edu), the study suggests that ingesting Assault™ 20 minutes prior to exercise can improve agility, quickness and lower-body muscular strength in both strength and/or endurance-trained young adult males. Moreover, the study showed that Assault™ can improve energy, focus and alertness, and delay fatigue.

The purpose of the USSA study was to determine the effects of Assault™ on upper and lower body muscular endurance, aerobic and anaerobic capacity, and choice reaction time in recreationally-trained males. Subjective feelings of energy, fatigue, alertness and focus were measured to examine associations between psychological factors and human performance.

Researchers concluded that ingesting Assault™ before exercise significantly improved agility choice reaction performance and lower body muscular endurance, while increasing perceived energy and reducing subjective fatigue.

"Our findings suggest that Assault™ can provide athletes with an overall better workout experience by prolonging exercise performance, reducing fatigue and increasing energy-levels," said Jordan R. Moon, Ph.D., lead researcher of the clinical trial and USSA's Head of the Department of Sports Fitness and Health. "The athlete-subjects who consumed Assault lifted more weight, were faster in every reaction test and were motivated to continue to exercise with higher levels of focus and alertness than those on placebo."

"MusclePharm is one of only a few companies to support its products with clinical studies and scientific research," said Brad Pyatt, chief executive officer of MusclePharm. "Assault is the only pre-workout product on the market that is certified by both NSF International and Informed Choice as free of banned substances. These are some of the reasons why so many athletes and professional organizations partner with us, and why we believe MusclePharm is the future in the sports nutrition industry."

The abstract is entitled "Ingesting a pre-workout supplement containing caffeine, B-vitamins, amino acids, creatine, and beta-alanine before exercise delays fatigue while improving reaction time and muscular endurance" and can be downloaded at www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/9/1/28/abstract.
