Effects of beta-alanine supplementation on exercise performance during a competitive wrestling season: an 8-week open label pilot study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The goal of wrestlers during a competitive season is to maintain or lose body weight without compromising athletic performance. However, some studies have reported decrements in exercise performance associated with weight loss and/or the strain of a competitive season. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to examine the effects of 8 week beta-alanine (β-ala) supplementation on exercise performance in Division II collegiate wrestlers during a competitive season.
