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.
