Abstract
Background: This study examined whether acute consumption of 11 g of essential amino acids (EAAs), compared with a maltodextrin placebo, affected cognitive performance in young, active adults. Methods: Forty-one participants were assigned to treatment (n=21; 7 male, 14 female) or placebo (n=20; 8 male, 12 female). Participants completed cognitive tests before and 30–45 minutes after consuming 11 grams of EAAs or placebo (i.e., maltodextrin). Separate 2 × 2 mixed ANOVAs were conducted to evaluate group, time, and group × time interactions for Trail Making Tests A and B, Psychomotor Vigilance, N-back response time and accuracy, Stroop performance, and fatigue. Group × time interactions assessed differences in pre-to-post changes between groups. Results: Groups did not differ significantly in baseline age, height, weight, body mass index, or training experience (all p>.26). A significant group × time interaction occurred for N-back response time, F(1,39)=4.69, p=.037, partial η²=.107. Response time decreased in the EAA group from 1062.95±223.33 to 954.38±138.28 ms but increased in the placebo group from 1037.60±211.39 to 1059.00±212.46 ms. Significant time effects were observed on the Trail Making Test A (p<.001) and B (p<.001), with both groups improving. No significant interactions were observed for Psychomotor Vigilance, N-back accuracy, Stroop performance, or fatigue (all p > .29). Conclusion: Acute EAA consumption improved N-back response time relative to placebo. This finding should be considered preliminary and requires confirmation in larger studies.
