Strength and Power

Maresh et al (2007). "The Effects of Betaine Supplementation on Strength and Power Performance" Med Sci Sports Exerc 39(5 Suppl): S101.

This study found that ingestion of betaine over 2 weeks led to increased power, force and maintenance as measured in:

- vertical jump power
- isometric squat force
- isometric bench press
- bench throw power

There were no differences in bench press repetitions, number of squat repetitions, and jump squat power.
