Multiday acute sodium bicarbonate intake improves endurance capacity and reduces acidosis in men

Abstract: BackgroundThe purpose was to investigate the effects of one dose of NaHCO3 per day for five consecutive days on cycling time-to-exhaustion (Tlim) at ‘Critical Power’ (CP) and acid–base parameters in endurance athletes.MethodsEight trained male cyclists and triathletes completed two exercise periods in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind interventional crossover investigation. Before each period, CP was determined. Afterwards, participants completed five constant-load cycling trials at CP until volit… Show more

“…Thus, a pCO2 value exceeding 45 mmHg is associated with respiratory inefficiencies and pH decrease in acid values [22]. pCO2 value which falls below 35 mmHg is associated with hyperventilation, and an increase in pH, in alkalosis stage [23].…”

“…Irrespective of performance, little is known about the acute and chronic consequences of regular GI disturbances, which may be detrimental to health. Previous investigations have examined the efficacy of various ingestion strategies such as multiday dosing (Mueller et al, 2013), split-dosing (Sale et al, 2011) and carbohydrate co-ingestion (Carr et al, 2011a) to reduce GI disturbances. However, regardless of adopting these strategies, GI disturbances remain problematic in some individuals following ingestion, therefore emphasising the need for alternative ingestion strategies (Lancha Junior et al, 2015 The primary aim of the present study was to determine the optimal ingestion form to minimise GI disturbances following NaHCO 3 ingestion.…”

“…Interestingly, there is some variety in the timing of pre-exercise administration in the literature which typically ranges from 60-90 min 29,30,31,32 . In some cases a multiple acute dose has been used starting at 90 mins and continuing until 50 min pre-exercise 33 or more chronic supplementation across several days 34 . This range of pre-exercise ingestion times are likely to influence the effectiveness of the supplement and therefore the magnitude of the potential performance benefits which are reported.…”
