Filter by:This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, crossover trial. The study aimed to assess the effect of sodium bicarbonate on the ability to perform a repeated sprint task by female football players. The researches hypothesis was that sodium bicarbonate increases the ability to remove lactic acid from muscle cells reducing its intracellular accumulation and increasing energetic efficiency resulting in the increase of peak power output, mean power output, or total work or in the decrease of the sprint decrement in each set of the repeated sprints task.
The aim of this study was to verify if sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) suplementation promotes changes in the performance, muscular activity and strength of individuals trained during the intermittent and intense task . Twelve trained adult men will participate in this randomized, double-blind, crossover clinical trial. Each participant should receive two types of intervention with a 14-day interval between conditions: alkalosis (ALK) in which gelatinous capsules containing 0.3 g.kg -1 of NaHCO 3 and placebo (PLA) are administered, in which 0.3 g.kg-1 of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). The following results will be considered: electromyographic activity (EMG) of the quadriceps muscle, peak torque, pH, lactate, and perception of effort, recovery and pain questionnaires, which will be collected during intermittent and high intensity DI protocol. ANOVA of repeated measures will be used to verify possible differences between groups.
