Article Synopsis
- Sodium bicarbonate (SB) supplementation was studied for its effect on 2 km rowing performance in female CrossFit athletes, finding that it notably improved race times by 2.24% compared to a placebo.
- The study involved 11 female athletes who ingested SB or a placebo in a randomized crossover design, with an average time to peak bicarbonate levels occurring about 102 minutes post-ingestion.
- Results showed a significant correlation between increased blood bicarbonate levels and performance improvement, indicating SB's potential as an effective ergogenic aid for female athletes.
