U.S., Feb. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06826222) titled 'Sodium Bicarbonate Intake on Endurance Performance' on Feb. 10.
Brief Summary: Sodium bicarbonate (SB) is one of the ergogenic aids that enhance short-duration, high-intensity sports performance by improving the buffering system. However, studies suggest that SB may also be beneficial for prolonged high-intensity endurance exercises, where anaerobic glycolysis plays a role. The commonly used SB dose in these studies (0.3 g/kg) often leads to gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort, necessitating alternative approaches. Among various protocols, consuming SB with a carbohydrate-rich meal has been identified as an effective strategy to mitiga...
