table - Dietary supplements and muscular hypertrophy. Brazilian Journal Biomotricity, v. 4, n. 4, p. 227-245,
2010. The aims of this Round Table were: a) present the opinions of researchers regarding the efficiency
nutritional supplements developed for strength gains and muscle growth, b) discuss the perspectives for
future research involving nutritional supplementation and muscular hypertrophy, and c) discuss research
limitations and controversial issues in literature. Eight researchers with a relevant history of publications in
this area were invited to answer six questions. Five researchers answered the Editor's invitation. After
answering the questions, the researchers received responses from other participants following the blind
system. Therefore, the researchers had a chance to discuss controversial points. Overall, despite the
limitations and controversy in the literature, there was a consensus on the answers given by the researchers.
