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.
