Effects of Bata-Alanine on performance and muscle metabolism in junor alpine skiers

Competitive alpine skiing is a very high intensity sport which taxes muscular strength and aerobic as well as anaerobic energy supply systems of the athletes to the max. Improvements in high intensity performance, muscle buffer capacity and muscle contractility were shown after beta-alanine supplementation in humans and animals. It was hypothesized that beta-alanine supplementation improves performance of alpine skiers and affects their muscle metabolism.
