Carnosine Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisMethodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2.0 tool, and the certainty of evidence was evaluated via the GRADE framework.1Liang W (2026)No ergogeniceffect of β-alanine on repeated sprint ability: a systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Carnosine Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisConclusion In conclusion, chronic β-alanine supplementation does not provide a clear improvement in total work capacity, maximal anaerobic power, or fatigue resistance during repeated sprinting.1Liang W (2026)No ergogeniceffect of β-alanine on repeated sprint ability: a systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Carnosine Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisObjective Chronic beta-alanine supplementation is a prevalent nutritional strategy to augment intracellular buffering capacity via elevated muscle carnosine.1Liang W (2026)No ergogeniceffect of β-alanine on repeated sprint ability: a systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Carnosine Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisWhile its ergogenic efficacy in continuous, high-intensity exercise is established, its impact on repeated sprint ability (RSA)-governed by extremely brief work bouts and phosphocreatine (PCr) kinetics-remains equivocal.1Liang W (2026)No ergogeniceffect of β-alanine on repeated sprint ability: a systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Carnosine Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisSimilarly, no between-roup differences were found for height (= 0.21, = 0.839, = 0.07,rivial effect), BMI (= −0.97, = 0.340, = −0.35, small effec), or body fat percentae (= −1.20, = 0.242, = −0.44, small effec).2Küçük Furkan Hasan (2026)Effects of β-alanine supplementation on kickboxing-specific anaerobic performance, neuromuscular power, and strength endurance: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
Carnosine Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisTable 3 (26) (26) (26) (26) As shown in, no significant between-group differences were found in baseline physical performance variables (all p > 0.05).2Küçük Furkan Hasan (2026)Effects of β-alanine supplementation on kickboxing-specific anaerobic performance, neuromuscular power, and strength endurance: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
Carnosine Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisThe findings revealed meaningful group × time interaction effects, particularly for KASTtotal, where the β-alanine group improved from 40.36 ± 2.34 s at baseline to 38.85 ± 2.46 s after supplementation, while the control group showed only a minimal change (42.09 ± 3.18 s to 41.50 ± 3.63 s).2Küçük Furkan Hasan (2026)Effects of β-alanine supplementation on kickboxing-specific anaerobic performance, neuromuscular power, and strength endurance: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
