*3.2. The Influence of Cyclical Ketogenic Reduction Diet vs. Nutritionally Balanced Reduction Diet on Muscle Strength Parameters*

The muscle strength parameters were assessed as maximum weight lifted during bench press, lat pull-down, and leg press. CKD did not affect any of these parameters (Table 2). On the contrary, in subjects on RD lat pull-down and leg press values significantly increased (Table 2).


**Table 2.** The effect of cyclical ketogenic reduction diet and nutritionally balanced reduction diet on strength parameters.

Data are mean ± SD. Statistical significance is from One-way ANOVA and paired *t*-test (V1—baseline testing vs. V2—testing after 8 weeks of diet). \* *p* < 0.05 vs. V1. NS: Not significant. NA : not avalible.
