    Feng Y, et al.

    Published in Frontiers in Nutrition

    Key Findings

    The current evidence indicates that exercise with HMB supplementation may enhance physical performance in patients with sarcopenia compared to exercise with the placebo group. However, the effects on muscle mass, muscle strength, and body composition are likely minimal.

    Conclusions

    The current evidence indicates that exercise with HMB supplementation may enhance physical performance in patients with sarcopenia compared to exercise with the placebo group. However, the effects on muscle mass, muscle strength, and body composition are likely minimal.
