SOURCE-LINKED STUDY SUMMARY
Effects of dietary supplements on lower-limb power and jump performance in physically active individuals and athletes: a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis.
Abstract summarizedQuality not appraised
- What was studied
- A network meta-analysis compared supplements for lower-limb power and jumping.
- Who / model studied
- 119 studies in healthy active people and athletes; outcome networks overlapped.
- Studied dose & schedule
- Supplement types, regimens and placebo comparisons varied; no single regimen was tested across the network.
- What the study found
- HMB versus placebo improved peak power by 64.70 W (95% credible interval 19.15–110.50) and relative power by 0.84 W/kg (0.42–1.28). Relative-power findings were more stable in sensitivity analyses.
- Limitations & context
- Most comparisons had very low certainty. Network rankings do not establish head-to-head superiority or muscle growth. Abstract-based assessment; no pooled safety conclusion.
