Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: individuals should have a minimum experience of 6 months with the regular practice of strength training; training frequency greater than or equal to three weekly sessions.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Those who might have clinical limitations that could compromise their health and safety would be excluded. Those who practice other types of strength training would also be excluded. During the period, the volunteer who was injured, regardless of the reason, or if he was absent from more than three consecutive training sessions, would be excluded from the sample.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome:Significant increases in lower limb muscle thickness were expected to be induced by beta alanine supplementation, as measured by ultrasound. ; Observed outcome:No significant differences were observed with supplementation (Beta Alanine: 5.9%; Placebo: 9.3%)—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome: It was expected significant increases in muscle strength of lower and upper limbs induced by beta alanine supplementation, assessed through 1RM test. ;Observed outcome:No differences were observed induced by supplementation (Beta alanine: 17,1%; Placebo: 17,5%)—
