Post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) and taurine combination improves anaerobic performance in highly trained wrestlers: a double-blind, randomized, crossover study.

Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition·December 31, 2026·PMID 42112616

Why it matters

For specialists working with explosive-sport athletes, this study provides evidence that a simple nutritional strategy—taurine before a PAPE warm-up—can acutely boost anaerobic power and reduce fatigue markers. It offers a practical, non-pharmacological method to potentially enhance competition or training performance in wrestling and similar sports.
