n: number of studies; Modified: ≥ 248 sample size in either case or control; All > 80%: studies with ≥ 248 participants in case and in control; PRO: pre-outlier; PSO: post outlier; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; Pa: P-value for association

* Pa values that survived the Bonferroni correction; Pb: P-value for heterogeneity; AM: analysis model; R: random-effects; F: fixed-effects; SP: sports performance; Fs: favor SP; ORs = 0.99–1.01 were considered null; RS: retained significance; RNS: retained non-significance; ES: elevated significance; RH: reduced heterogeneity; EH: eliminated heterogeneity. Values in bold indicate significant associations that favor SP only.
