Bicarbonate loading and performance enhancement in half mile sprinting
The effects of bicarbonate loading on 800- running times were investigated. NaHCO3 and placebo tablet and no-tablet conditions were compared. Dose size was 300 mg/kgbw and ingestion occurred one-hour before and immediately following each trial.
There were no differences in run times or post-run measures.
Implication. Bicarbonate loading does not assist 800-m running.
