چکیده
Background Product specific research is necessary for determining the efficacy of dietary supplements comprised of different ingredients. Recently, the pre-workout supplement AssaultTM (MusclePharm, Denver, CO, USA) was investigated and demonstrated an ergogenic effect through improved lower body muscular endurance and agility choice reaction. However, continued product specific research is necessary for identifying further potential benefits AssaultTM has to offer. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of AssaultTM on anaerobic power measured on a Wingate Cycle Test (WAnT), upper body power via medicine ball put (MBP), and lower body power during a countermovement vertical jump (CMJ).
