The Claim
In non-athlete men undergoing 8 weeks of endurance training, daily consumption of 710 mL of watermelon juice has no significant effect on exercise strength or endurance compared to a calorie-matched placebo.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In non-athlete men doing 8 weeks of endurance training, drinking 710 mL of watermelon juice every day does not change their exercise strength or endurance compared to a placebo drink with the same calories.
See the scientific wording
In non-athlete men undergoing 8 weeks of endurance training, daily consumption of 710 mL of watermelon juice shows no significant effect on exercise strength or endurance compared to a calorie-matched placebo.
Watermelon juice provides a compound that the body turns into a signal that opens blood vessels and removes a fatigue-causing waste product. This helps muscles recover faster and grow bigger after exercise, but it does not make the muscles stronger or let a person exercise longer.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that drinking watermelon juice before workouts didn’t help men lift more weight or exercise longer than drinking a fake juice with the same calories. So, the juice didn’t improve strength or endurance, just like the claim says.
