If we go by the results of this latest meta-analysis, athletes and experienced gymrats don't benefit from HMB supplements. Roughly 4 years ago, HMB, which, once hailed as "as potent as a weak androgenic steroid", had been forgotten by most fitness enthusiasts, when - all of a sudden - a single study by Wilson et al. put it back into the limelight. In fact, there's hardly a study that has been so heavily debated in the fitness geek community as Wilson's infamous HMB paper with the steroid-like gains from March 2014 (Wilson 2014).

Against that background it may come as a surprise that researchers from the Poznán University of Life Sciences in Poland chose to study the effects of HMB on the aerobic capacity (Burkalec-Michalski. 2016), instead of the usual study outcome, the subjects' strength. Is that a bad thing? Not at all! After all, there are  more sports that require optimal aerobic performance than sports that require (only) optimal strength performance. It thus makes perfect sense that Krzysztof Durkalec-Michalski and Jan Jeszka chose aerobic performance as their primary, but not only study outcome. Lea...
