Study Details
This new meta-analysis compiled data from 35 studies (991 participants) to investigate the effects of different supplements on athletic outcomes 🔍
All participants in the included studies were athletes who were also completing strength and conditioning training alongside supplementation 🏋️♂️
Here is what they found ⬇️
Key Findings
For muscular strength ➡️ protein supplementation yielded the greatest benefit 🥤
For jump performance ➡️ both creatine and beta-alanine had the greatest benefit⚡️
For sprint time ➡️ creatine led to the greatest reduction in time ⏱️
For lean body mass ➡️ no supplement had significant effects ❌
