Neural
The placebo group experienced a higher percentage of fatigue and higher subjective perception of exertion compared to the maintenance group.
Supplementation with beta-alanine may help reduce perceived exertion and fatigue during repeated sprints.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The placebo group also presented higher percentage of fatigue (44.5% ± 12.3 and 44.8% ± 7.7 vs. 37.6 ± 7.2%; p = 0.021) and higher subjective perception of exertion (8.92 ± 0.90 vs. 8.00 ± 1.60; p = 0.028).
Why this rating
The study design allows for clear measurement of subjective and objective performance metrics.
