        The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of acute BCAA supplementation on some inflammatory indicators and muscle damage following an intense resistance training session in female athletes. In this semi-experimental research with a pre-test-post-test design, 20 female athletes were randomly divided into 2 groups of 10: resistance training group with BCAA supplementation and resistance training group with placebo supplementation, one in the morning and one in the evening. A bout of resistance activity including 10 sets of eight repetitions of squats with 70% of 1RM using the Smith machine and a 3-minute rest between each set was performed by all participants. After completing the squat protocol, participants performed five consecutive sets of 20 repetitions (10 repetitions of split body weight jumps) with two minutes of rest between each set. The obtained data were analyzed using the dependent t-test and the covariance test with Benferroni's post hoc test using spss version 22 software. The results of the study showed that the serum levels of creatine kinase and the amount of delayed muscle pain and stiffness immediately, 24 and 48 hours and the serum levels of interleukin 6 immediately after intense resistance activity increased significantly compared to the baseline state. Also, the plasma levels of creatine kinase and the level of delayed muscle pain and stiffness in 24 hours and the level of interleukin-6 plasma levels have reached their peak after intense resistance activity, and this level was significantly higher than 48 and 72 hours after intense resistance activity. The present study showed that the consumption of BCAA supplement (0.22 g/kg) before and after exercise has no beneficial effect in reducing injury, muscle pain and inflammation in resistance trained women after senteric resistance training.
