Sports Nutritional Physiological Phenomena Clinical Trial
Official title:
Blood and Muscle Responses to Sodium Bicarbonate Supplementation and Subsequent Exercise Performance
The aim of this study is to evaluate the changes in activity of transporters of H+ (monocarboxylate transporters; MCT1, MCT4, NHE) following sodium bicarbonate supplementation and subsequent exercise performance. Fifteen healthy men (age 18-35 years) will be invited to attend the laboratory on five separate visits to a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Participants will be supplemented with a 0.3 g/kg dose of sodium bicarbonate or placebo (Analytical Pharmacy, Brazil) in opaque gelatin capsules. One hour after supplementation they will perform a 1-km time trial and every 10 minutes a blood sample will be collected. A muscle biopsy will be taken prior to supplementation, immediately prior to exercise, and immediately post-exercise. A questionnaire will be also used to evaluate the side-effects associated with sodium bicarbonate supplementation. Muscle and blood samples will be analysed for acidity and H+ and muscle samples will be analysed for H+ transporters (MCT1, MCT4, NHE).
