abstract = {Ketogenic diets (KDs) are an alternative to improve strength performance and body
composition in resistance training participants. The objective of this review and meta-analysis is to
verify whether a ketogenic diet produces an increase in the strength of resistance-trained participants.
We have evaluated the effect of the ketogenic diet in conjunction with resistance training on the
strength levels in trained participants. Boolean algorithms from various databases (PubMed, Scopus,
and Web of Science) were used. Meta-analyses were carried out, one on the 1-RM squat (SQ),
with 106 trained participants or athletes, and another on the 1-RM on the bench press (BP), evaluating
119 participants. We did not find significant differences between the groups in the variables of SQ or
BP, although the size of the effect was slightly higher in the ketogenic group. Conclusions: KDs do
not appear to impair 1-RM performance; however, this test does not appear to be the most optimal
tool for assessing hypertrophy-based strength session performance in resistance-trained participants.},
