More HMB Free Acid Science: Now It's Also Good For High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Says the Latest Sponsored Trial W/Out Calcium HMB Control in Young Men & Women
I still believe HMB is better suited for HIIT full body workouts than for cycling or running - regardless of whether it's the calcium or free acid form, by the way. It should be obvious that it was the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition , where I hit onto a very recent study by Edward H Robinson et al. (2014), a study the purpose of which it was to examine the effect of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyric free acid (HMBFA) and cycle ergometry HIIT on maximal oxygen consumption (VO2peak), ventilatory threshold (VT), respiratory compensation point (RCP) and time to exhaustion in college-aged men and women." (Robinson. 2014). That's not just quite a mouthful, and - this is where it becomes interesting - nothing that has not previously been studied in a comparable scenario with regular HMB (we will get back to why this is a problem in the conclusion).
