Figures & data

Table 1 StemSport ingredient list and purported benefits

Figure 1 Individual and mean (±SD) responses in 1RM bench press in (A) placebo condition and (B) StemSport condition. Both groups improved significantly with training (p < 0.01), but there was no time × condition interaction (p = 0.28).

Figure 2 Individual and mean (±SD) responses in 1RM leg press in (A) placebo condition and (B) StemSport condition. Both groups improved significantly with training (p < 0.001), but there was no time × condition interaction (p = 0.652).

Table 2 Mean (±SD) pre- and post-training values for strength, balance, and muscle function in the StemSport and Placebo supplementation conditions

Figure 3 Weekly mean (±SD) perception of recovery. ANOVA analyses revealed a significant main effect of time on perception of recovery (p < 0.001), but no significant condition × time interaction (p = 0.895).
