“…Regarding the type of exercised used in the study design, fourteen used RT, three studies performed both aerobic and RT (PORTAL, ZADIK, RABINOWITZ et al, 2011;O'CONNOR and CROWE, 2003;VUKOVICH, STUBBS, BOHLKEN, 2001) and two studies used the aerobic training (downhill) (NUNAN, HOWATSON and VAN SOMEREN, 2010;KNITTER, PANTON, RATHMACHER et al, 2000). There were three studies using aerobic training plus HMβ supplementation (presented in this review): two studies suggested that HMβ supplementation might prevent muscle damage in strenuous aerobic exercise (KNITTER, PANTON, RATHMACHER et al, 2000) and improve lean mass and strength gains (PORTAL, ZADIK, RABINOWITZ et al, 2011), however, these effects does not seem to occur in elite athletes (O'CONNOR and CROWE, 2003).…”
