Acute Sodium Bicarbonate Supplementation in Athletes

"Interventions:~The experimental procedure for each athlete included an acute SB supplementation in a different-dose regimen in order to assess whether the dose affects the actual physical and exercise capacity (doses: 0.15-, 0.25-, 0.35- and 0.50 g/kgFFM (0.12-, 0.20-, 0.28- and 0.40 g/kgBM), respectively). SB (Alkala, SANUM, Poland) will be administered as dissolved form in a 750 ml of fluid (water + fruit juice). On testing days the SB will be taken before physical and exercise capacity tests session.~Between the SB and PLA or a PLA and SB treatments, a minimum 7-day washout period will be introduced."
