In this 2022 study, researchers examined whether HMB supplementation combined with plyometric training influenced body composition, agility, and standing jump power in elite parkour athletes. Parkour requires explosive lower-body power, strength, and agility, making this a relevant model for studying performance-focused training adaptations. The study suggests that HMB, when paired with structured plyometric exercise, may help support body composition and performance outcomes in elite parkour athletes.
