The effect of supplementation of HMB (β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate) and plyometric exercises on performance and body composition of elite parkour athletes in Tehran.

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.
