Enteric-coated sodium bicarbonate supplementation improves high-intensity cycling performance in trained cyclists.

Purpose: Enteric-coated sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) can attenuate gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms following acute bicarbonate loading, although the subsequent effects on exercise performance have not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of enteric-coated NaHCO supplementation on high-intensity exercise performance and GI symptoms.

Methods: Eleven trained male cyclists completed three 4 km time trials after consuming; a placebo or 0.
