Acute Effects of Citrulline Supplementation on High-Intensity Strength and Power Performance
Citrulline supplementation shows a small but significant improvement in strength and explosive performance during high-intensity exercise compared to placebo. These results may be especially relevant for elite athletes, where even small differences can influence competition outcomes.
