Reported findings and study design
A 28-day nutrition-plus-training comparison with reported random assignment; statistical markings refer to the baseline column.
| Measure | Result | Comparison, timing and statistics |
|---|---|---|
| Reported allocation | 20 active participants; ten controls; 30 athletes total. | |
| Statistical contrast | Table 2: * p<0.05 and ** p<0.01 versus baseline. Table 4: * p<0.05 versus baseline. | These symbols do not identify a treatment-versus-control test. |
| Simple visual-motor response latency, Table 3 | Baseline 197 ± 4 ms; control 196 ± 5 ms; active 192 ± 4 ms at day 28, without significance markings. |
Selected human endpoints, original Tables 2 and 4
| Outcome | Reported baseline | Control, day 28 | Active, day 14 | Active, day 28 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General physical endurance, points | 112.5 ± 2.8 | 114.3 ± 2.6 | 116.7 ± 2.7 | 122.5 ± 2.5** |
| Respiratory load index, relative units | 42.3 ± 3.9 | 44.5 ± 3.7 | 47.1 ± 3.1 | 52.6 ± 3.2* |
| Competition-readiness self-rating, points | 8.1 ± 0.3 | 8.3 ± 0.3 | 8.4 ± 0.4 | 8.8 ± 0.3* |
The source supplies a single baseline column, not separate baselines for each arm. * and ** compare with baseline at p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively. Preserve the reported ± values without assuming an uncertainty type.
Improvement during training and numerical group differences do not, by themselves, establish superiority over control. The three-module preparation does not isolate a single ingredient or Pre-Fuse effect.

Methods, limitations & source review
Study limitations
- Random-sequence generation, concealment and blinding are not described. Active and control groups have different sex distributions, and training schedules varied.
- The tables give one baseline column rather than separate arm-specific baselines. Asterisks denote comparisons with baseline, not with control.
- The account does not provide endpoint-specific between-arm effect estimates or confidence intervals for the extracted results.
- One author is affiliated with VKB-Sport, where the paper describes formulation development. Historical affiliations do not establish current employment.
- Participant overlap with other nutrition reports is unresolved. No effect of an individual ingredient, human disease treatment or combination synergy follows from this program.
Publication counts are not counts of independent trials. Reviews, translations and reports sharing participants may overlap. Findings apply to the studied preparation, population and endpoints.
