Citrulline Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisStrategies that support repeated high-intensity sprint performance are of considerable interest in competitive sprinting and team sports; however, evidence regarding acute citrulline malate (CM) supplementation during recovery intervals remains limited.2Yamanaka R (2026)Effects of Acute Citrulline Malate Supplementation on Repeated 100 m Sprint Performance in Trained Sprinters: A Randomized Crossover Study.
Citrulline Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisThis study examined the effects of acute CM supplementation on repeated 100 m sprint performance and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) in trained sprinters.2Yamanaka R (2026)Effects of Acute Citrulline Malate Supplementation on Repeated 100 m Sprint Performance in Trained Sprinters: A Randomized Crossover Study.
Citrulline Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisThrough its involvement in NO-related pathways, L-ARG supplementation has been associated with changes in vascular function and blood flow, which may influence exercise-related physiological responses (,–).4Uçar Halil (2026)Acute effects of citrulline malate and L-arginine, alone and in combination, on anaerobic performance indicators in highly trained taekwondo athletes
Citrulline Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisHowever, the findings across these studies remain inconsistent, and conclusive evidence supporting clear performance or recovery benefits has yet to be established.4Uçar Halil (2026)Acute effects of citrulline malate and L-arginine, alone and in combination, on anaerobic performance indicators in highly trained taekwondo athletes
Citrulline Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisNo significant sequence effect was detected (= 1.08,= 0.393, ηp= 0.213), and no significant period × sequence interaction was observed (= 1.04,= 0.430, ηp= 0.206), indicating no statistically significant evidence of meaningful carryover effects and supporting the adequacy of the 72-h washout period.4Uçar Halil (2026)Acute effects of citrulline malate and L-arginine, alone and in combination, on anaerobic performance indicators in highly trained taekwondo athletes
Citrulline Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis1 2 3 Taekwondo is a full-contact martial art in which successful performance is largely determined by the execution of high-force kicking techniques directed to the trunk protector or head of the opponent (,).4Uçar Halil (2026)Acute effects of citrulline malate and L-arginine, alone and in combination, on anaerobic performance indicators in highly trained taekwondo athletes
