title: Synthesizing strength and conditioning research: the meta-analysis.
abstract: As the body of research examining strength and conditioning topics grows, it is vital that researchers be able to effectively synthesize research findings. The meta-analysis has been shown to be a more advanced form of research synthesis than the conventional narrative review. Meta-analytic procedures are discussed and applications to strength related research are presented.
