Meta-Analysis of the Placebo Effect in Nutritional Supplement Studies of Muscular Performance
Tarra Rawdon, Rick L. Sharp, Mack Shelley, and Jerry R. Thomas
This paper is a meta-analysis of the role of nutritional supplements in strength training focusing on the effects of placebo treatments. We address specifically the results from meta-analysis of 334 fi.ndings from 37 studies of the effect of nutritional supplements and physical fitness interventions on strength, stamina, and endurance outcomes, controlling for main effects of the group on which the results were obtained (placebo, treatment, control, for pretest or posttest), with covariates for age, gender, randomization, double-blind procedures, study duration, training load, training frequency, and training status. Finding show that there are significant placebo effects accounting for a substantial portion of the effect size typically associated with treatment interventions. In addition to produce the best evaluations of treatment effects, both control and placebo groups should be included in a double-blind research design using participants who are well familiarized with the study procedures.

The T/C data did appear to track the peak-taper cycles (i.e., structured reduction in training load and volume to optimize recovery) of the

Resistance training loads are often prescribed based on relative intensities of the one-repetition maximum (1RM; González-Badillo et al., 2011 ). Nevertheless, their regular assessment is not always possible due to

Finally, body composition variables were obtained using skinfolds measures, which are, to the authors’ knowledge, not the gold standard ( Sutton et al., 2009 ). Conclusion The present results indicate that the
