topicBeta-Alanine Muscle Endurance Randomized Trial
claimNutritional interventions were associated with improvements in muscular endurance (SMD = 0.90; 95% CI: 0.55, 1.25; p Conclusion Current evidence suggests that nutritional interventions may support fatigue resistance and enhance muscular endurance under BFR training conditions, but do not provide a clear additional benefit for maximal strength or hypertrophy.
