According to some models, tryptophan delays the onset of fatigue. Conversely, in other models, this amino acid is implicated in generating fatigue. This study attempts to shed some light on the debate.</p></div><div><h3>Method</h3><p>Ten elite (non-professional) road racing cyclists took part in a double-blind study employing paired data under standardised dietary and training conditions. Each volunteer did two trials, one with tryptophan supplementation (TRP) and the other with placebo (PLB). Various body fuel, plasma amino acid and renal function parameters were analysed in relation to fatigue data obtained using the Borg test. Blood pressure, pupil size and haematocrit values were also monitored. The parameters obtained were used to examine the principal components of fatigue in said test.</p></div><div><h3>Objective</h3><p>To confirm that, under test conditions, oral L-tryptophan supplementation has a favourable influence on fatigue perception during exercise.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>The principal components of fatigue, as reflected by the Borg test in this study, fit the following model: Perception of fatigue attained<!--> <!-->=<!--> <!-->8.406050586<!--> <!-->+<!--> <!-->(0.126275247<!--> <!-->*<!--> <!-->% load intensity)<!--> <!-->−<!--> <!-->(0.031521537<!--> <!-->*<!--> <!-->cholesterol mg/dl)<!--> <!-->+<!--> <!-->(0.051002322<!--> <!-->*<!--> <!-->HDL cholesterol mg/dl)<!--> <!-->−<!--> <!-->(0.017130681<!--> <!-->*<!--> <!-->tryptophan mmol/ml)<!--> <!-->−<!--> <!-->(0.004545865<!--> <!-->*<!--> <!-->glycine<!--> <!-->mmol/ml)<!--> <!-->+<!--> <!-->(0.082894085<!--> <!-->*<!--> <!-->methionine<!--> <!-->mmol/ml).
