A maintenance dose of 1.2 g·d-1 of beta-alanine (BA) was effective in maintaining performance during repeated sprints.
Practitioners can consider a lower maintenance dose of beta-alanine to sustain performance in repeated sprint activities.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Therefore, the maintenance dose of 1.2 g·d-1 BA was effective in maintaining performance.
Why this rating
The study involved a controlled trial with a clear comparison of groups.
