Strength Training
exerciseResistance and weight training for muscle development
Reported Benefits
Effects of different dietary supplements combined with conditioning training on muscular strength, jump performance, sprint speed and muscle mass in athletes: A systematic review with network meta-analysis
Zhang Y, Li X, et al.
Network meta-analysis of athletes showed strength training with protein supplementation most effectively increased muscular strength, while creatine improved jump performance and sprint speed, though no supplements significantly boosted muscle mass without training.
Supplementation Strategies for Strength and Power Athletes
Jagim AR, Kerksick CM
Whey protein supplementation with strength training improved body composition, 1RM strength in bench press and leg press, and performance in trained athletes over 8-10 weeks compared to carbohydrate or control.
Pre-Workout Supplements and Their Effects on Cardiovascular Health: An Integrative Review.
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Strength training increases training volume and leads to greater lean mass, strength, and power gains in healthy adolescents, young adults, and older adults by enhancing muscle creatine availability.
Creatine Supplementation for Muscle Growth: A Scoping Review of Randomized Clinical Trials from 2012 to 2021.
Wu SH, Chen KL, Hsu C, et al.
In healthy untrained and trained young adults, strength training combined with creatine supplementation increased muscle strength, power output, sport performance, and hypertrophy compared to placebo, with effects seen in as little as 10 days even without training in some cases.
