Sodium citrate induces alkalosis and can provide a performance benefit in high-intensity exercise. Previous investigations have been inconsistent the ingestion protocols used, particular dose timing of before onset The primary aim current study was to quantify blood pH, bicarbonate concentration gastrointestinal symptoms after three doses sodium (500 mg⋅kg-1, 700 mg⋅kg-1 900 mg⋅kg-1). Thirteen participants completed four experimental sessions, each consisting different or taste-matched...
To compare the effect of 500 mg·kg-1 body mass (BM) sodium citrate ingested in solution or capsules on induced alkalosis, gastrointestinal symptoms and palatability. Twenty-four healthy active participants completed two testing sessions, ingesting BM within capsules. Capillary blood samples were collected pre-ingestion, every 30-min for 240-min post-ingestion; analyzed pH [HCO3- ]. A validated questionnaire was used to quantify at same intervals. Palatability quantified immediately after...
Hot-water immersion (HWI) after training in temperate conditions has been shown to induce thermophysiological adaptations and improve endurance performance the heat; however, potential additive effects of HWI hot outdoor remain unknown. Therefore, this study aimed determine effect repeated postexercise athletes a environment.A total 13 (9 female) elite/preelite racewalkers completed 15-day program heat (mean afternoon high temperature = 34.6°C). Athletes were divided into 2 matched groups...
Abstract Background Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) has analgesic/anti-inflammatory properties that may be a suitable alternative to over-the-counter (OTC) non-steroidal analgesics/anti-inflammatories. While OTC pain medications can impair strength training adaptations, the mechanism of action PEA is distinct from these and it not negatively affect skeletal muscle adaptations training. Methods The primary aim this study was investigate effects daily supplementation (350 mg Levagen + equivalent...
Abstract Background This study assessed relationships and sex differences between psychological state (recovery, stress, anxiety, self-confidence) gastrointestinal symptoms (GIS) prior to during a 56 km ultramarathon running race identified predictive factors of GIS. Forty-four (26 males, 18 females) competitors completed recovery, stress GIS questionnaires for three days the immediately pre-race. Race were post-race. Spearman’s rank order, Mann–Whitney U tests regression analyses used...
This study examined sex differences among endurance athletes in pre-race relationships between sleep, and perceived stress recovery. Thirty-six completed the Short Recovery Stress Scale, had sleep monitored via actigraphy, over four consecutive days prior to an ultra-marathon. Overall, compared with males, females shorter wake after onset (mean ± SD, 50 23 vs 65 min, p = .04) lower emotional balance (3.9 1.1 4.8 arbitrary units, .001). The day before race, scored higher for all...
Objectives To compare blood alkalosis, gastrointestinal symptoms and indicators of strong ion difference after ingestion 500 mg.kg -1 BM sodium citrate over four different periods. Methods Sixteen healthy active participants ingested in gelatine capsules a 15, 30, 45 or 60 min period using randomized cross-over experimental design. Gastrointestinal questionnaires venous samples were collected before ingestion, immediately post-ingestion, every 30 for 480 post-ingestion. Blood analysed pH,...
This study compared the recommended dose of sodium citrate (SC, 500 mg/kg body mass) and bicarbonate (SB, 300 for blood alkalosis (blood [HCO 3 − ]) gastrointestinal symptoms (GIS; number severity). Sixteen healthy individuals ingested supplements in a randomized, crossover design. Gelatin capsules were over 15 min alongside carbohydrate-rich meal, after which participants remained seated forearm venous sample collection completion GIS questionnaires every 30 min. Time-course session value...
Abstract Aims To explore the relationship between nutritional intake, fermentable oligo‐, di, monosaccharides and polyols, carbohydrate malabsorption, with gastrointestinal symptoms during a 56 km trail ultramarathon event identify differences in intake runners severe non‐severe symptoms. Methods Forty‐four ultramarathoners recorded self‐reported dietary 3 days before, morning of, obtained retrospectively nutrient analysis via FoodWorks. Carbohydrate malabsorption was determined breath...
