For the remaining outcomes, pooled estimates were imprecise, with 95% confidence intervals including trivial and, where applicable, potentially meaningful effects. Moreover, certainty of evidence was very low for all outcomes after downgrading for risk of bias, imprecision, and publication bias; peak power and anaerobic performance were additionally downgraded for indirectness.
