Surfing is one additional sport proposed by the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee. Surprisingly, substantial efforts to understand surfing energetics are recent, and the impact of a single surfing paddling cycle on fatigue and energy cost is still not clear. Since surfing paddling technique is highly specific, experiments in real practice conditions are necessary to provide deeper insights. Through a biophysical approach, biomechanical and energetics responses of surfing paddling were quantified and compared from 16 competitive male surfers (23.5 ± 10.0 years old, 65.3 ± 11.4 kg and 1.72 ± 0.01 m) during two sets (PRE and POST) of 10 s all-out tethered paddling plus 20 m sprint paddling, interposed by 6 min of endurance paddling. Faster surfers presented lower energy cost during sprint PRE (r2 = 0.30, p = 0.03) and endurance (r2 = 0.35, p = 0.02) relative surfing paddling velocities. Although the energy cost was higher for a lower velocity at maximal paddling velocity POST, the energy cost of surfing paddling increased with absolute velocity according to a power function (R2 = 0.83). Our results suggest that fatigue seems to occur even following a single surfing paddling cycle. Developing a powerful and endurable metabolic base while reducing energy cost during surfing paddling should be seen as key factors in surfing training programs.

PURPOSE: Surfing is a sport in which the intensity and duration of training varies. Therefore, strategies that contribute to muscle attenuation may be efficient to improve surfers' performance. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate on surfers' performance. METHODS: Eighteen male volunteer surf athletes participated in the study, in which they were instructed to perform up to twenty shots of twenty meters of paddling under their own surfboard in a swimming pool. The method was carried out twice, with an interval of 72 hours between them, being randomized between previous supplementation of sodium bicarbonate diluted in water, alternating with placebo containing sodium chloride and water. The blood lactate (Bla) was collected immediately before and after the rowing tests. RESULTS: The longest twenty-meter paddling shot time in the placebo group was 13.08 seconds (Bla 13.7 mg/dL after exercise) and the shortest was 9.89 seconds (Bla 15.1 mg/dL). On the day of bicarbonate ingestion, the longest time was 12.5 seconds (Bla14 mG/dL) and the shortest time was 9.1 seconds (Bla 15.5 mg/dL). CONCLUSIONS: The study showed that the administration of sodium bicarbonate positively affected the performance of surfers, resulting in a maximum improvement in paddle time and an increase in blood lactate.
