The placebo group and interruption group showed a reduction in power output during the third sprint compared to the maintenance group.
Avoiding interruption of beta-alanine supplementation may be crucial for maintaining sprint performance.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The placebo group and interruption group presented a lower power (7.28 ± 0.66 and 7.71 ± 0.42 W·kg-1 vs. 8.04 ± 0.84 and 9.25 ± 1.18 W·kg-1, respectively; p < 0.05) during the third sprint in postsupplementation.
Why this rating
The study design allows for direct comparison of performance metrics.
