Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis. When individuals are supplemented with pyruvate, the Krebs cycle has been speculated to perform more efficiently. This would lead to an increased rate of ATP production, therefore improving endurance performance.

Several amino acids have been theorized to help decrease the incidence of overtraining. As stated earlier, BCAA supplementation before and/or during exercise has been suggested to be an effective nutritional strategy to delay the onset of central fatigue. Although there is strong theoretical rationale to support the potential use of BCAAs as an ergogenic [...]
