Effect of β-alanine Supplementation and Training on Ergogenic Measures and Plasma Metabolites in Untrained Young Adults
Sponsor: University of Pecs
Summary
This study enrolled untrained young adults to evaluate the effects of β-alanine supplementation combined with a structured exercise training program. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either β-alanine or a placebo while completing a six-week training regimen. Before and after the intervention, physical performance tests and blood samples were collected to assess changes in performance measures and biochemical markers in the blood. The purpose of the study was to determine how β-alanine supplementation influences exercise performance and related physiological outcomes in individuals who had not previously engaged in regular training.

Interventions
β-Alanine
β-alanine was administered orally at a dose of 50 mg/kg/day, divided into multiple daily doses and consumed with meals, throughout the six-week training intervention.
Placebo
Participants received visually identical placebo capsules following the same dosing schedule as the β-alanine group during the six-week training intervention.
