This study aimed to determine the acute effect of 8 grams of citrulline malate supplementation 1 hour before exercise on the maximal anaerobic power level of elite boxers by measuring upper extremity peak power and velocity through bench press throwing and landmine punching (right-left arm) tests. The study group consists of 13 elite boxers aged between 18-22 years (19.8±1.28), studying at Istanbul Gelisim University, who have at least 3 years (7.5±3.59) of regular boxing experience and actively participate in competitions. The study was designed with a single group pretest-posttest experimental design. The effects of citrulline malate supplement on elite boxers was examined with comparison of the results recorded with and without citrulline malate supplement. As a result of the study, it was found that acute use of 8 grams citrulline malate supplement 1 hour before exercise in elite boxers showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in peak velocity (p=0.024) and peak power (p=0.048) of bench press throw, right arm landmine punch throw peak velocity (p<0.01) and peak power (p<0.01), left arm landmine punch throw peak velocity (p<0.01) and peak power (p=0.007). As a result, it was determined that the use of 8 grams of citrulline malate supplementation 1 hour before exercise in elite boxers contributed to a significant increase in the measured anaerobic power parameters.
