Study aim
-
Comparison of HMB Beta-Hydroxy beta-Methyl Butyrate Complementary Effects along with Selected Resistance Exercises on Liver, Muscle, Kidney Enzymes, Lipid Profile, Body Combination, and Some Other Physical Fitness Factors in Bodybuilding Athletes
-
Design
-
The sample size in this study was 40 people who were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. After resistance training and HMB (by the experimental group) and polydextrose (by the control group), two samples were taken from all samples in the laboratory, and some biochemical factors in the serum of the subjects were analyzed.
-
Settings and conduct
-
The study site of Moradnia Club is in Lahijan. The experimental supplement group HMB and the placebo group received polydextrose capsules at a dose of 3 g / day as two succulents for 14 days.
