This study showed that HMB supplementation increased the cyclists endurance as measured by VO2 peak and lactate threshold.

2000Knitter, A., L. Panton, J.A. Rathmacher, A. Peterson and R. Sharp, 2000 Effects of ß-hydroxy-ß-methylbutyrate (HMB) on muscle damage after a prolonged run, J. Appl. Physiol. 89:1340-1344 This double-blind randomized study in male and female runners showed that HMB reduced muscle damage after a prolonged run. Decreasing the amount of muscle damage caused by running may decrease the DOMS soreness many long-distance runners experience.
