Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) ingestion has shown positive effects on performance during high-intensity exercise, but this study focuses on its impact on longer durations, specifically a 40 km time trial for trained cyclists.
Fourteen male cyclists ingested NaHCO or a placebo in a controlled experiment, and results indicated that NaHCO not only improved their time by an average of 54 seconds but also enhanced their blood buffering capacity during the trial.
The findings suggest that using NaHCO mini-tablets delivered in a carbohydrate hydrogel is an effective strategy for cyclists seeking to boost performance while experiencing minimal gastrointestinal discomfort.

- Amanda Regnier's recent research focuses on the effects of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) on athletic performance, specifically in high-intensity endurance activities, showcasing its potential ergogenic benefits in cycling.
- In her 2024 study, she examines the impact of sodium bicarbonate mini-tablets consumed within a carbohydrate hydrogel on 40 km time trial performance and metabolism in well-trained male cyclists.
- The findings suggest that NaHCO, when administered in this innovative delivery system, may enhance performance metrics beyond traditional exercise durations, indicating a need for further exploration into its applications for endurance athletes.
