Rhodiola rosea — no detected effect on countermovement jump height
ModerateEvidence strength: moderate. Human evidence with one recorded weakness, or capped at moderate by its design or by unread numbers.FindingNull result“The CMJ test results are shown in Figure 10A: The RHO group exhibited a significant improvement in CMJ height compared with the pre-test (p = 0.036, 95% CI = [−1.353, −0.047], ηp2 = 0.155), whereas no significant difference was found between the RHO and CTR groups.”
