The time to peak blood bicarbonate (HCO3−), pH, and strong ion difference (SID) following sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) ingestion in highly trained adolescent swimmers
Abstract:BackgroundContemporary research suggests that the optimal timing of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) should be based upon an individual time in which bicarbonate (HCO3−) or pH peaks within the blood. However, the mechanisms surrounding acidosis on exercise performance are contested, therefore it is plausible that the ergogenic effects of NaHCO3 are instead a result of an increased strong ion difference (SID) following ingestion. Since the post-ingestion time course of the SID is currently unknown, the purpose of th… Show more
