The favorable effect of sodium bicarbonate supplementation on muscular endurance can be explained by the suggested physiological mechanisms of this supplement. Specifically, sodium bicarbonate elicits its performance-enhancing effect on exercise tasks that produce a substantial increase in H+ [6, 22, 52]. H+ accumulation is theorized to inhibit act...
The pooled SMD for the effect of sodium bicarbonate on muscular strength was very close to zero, with both the upper and lower limit of CI within the range of trivial effects. This suggests that, even if an effect exists (regardless of whether it is positive or negative), it is most likely practically negligible. From a physiological perspective, t...
Potential gastrointestinal side-effects are important to consider in relation to sodium bicarbonate supplementation. The buildup of CO2 in the gut, as a result of supplementation with sodium bicarbonate, may cause bloating, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain [55, 56]. Some of these side-effects were reported in the included studies (Table 1), alt...
Most studies included in this review used a double-blind study design, which is identified as the “gold standard” study design in this line of research . However, none of the included studies explored the effectiveness of the blinding by asking the participants to indicate which trial was the sodium bicarbonate and which was the placebo. Given that...
The key strengths of this review are: (a) the use of a broad search syntax; (b) the search for published literature in five bibliographic databases; (c) the comprehensive forward and backward citation tracking; and (d) following a strict protocol for systematic reviews. The main limitation of this review is that, out of the total of 192 participant...
The findings presented in this review highlight the potential of sodium bicarbonate to acutely enhance muscular endurance. Given these acute benefits, future long-term studies are needed to explore if chronic supplementation also enhances hallmark adaptations to resistance training, such as hypertrophy and strength. Some studies using long-term sod...
Individuals interested in acute enhancement of muscular endurance during resistance exercise may consider supplementing with sodium bicarbonate. Practically speaking, sodium bicarbonate supplementation may lead to a small increase in the number of performed repetitions at a given load, isokinetic total work, or the time to maintain an isometric act...

Sep 9, 2021 · Multiple-day protocols of sodium bicarbonate supplementation can be effective in improving exercise performance. The duration of these protocols is generally between 3 and 7 days before the exercise test, and a total sodium bicarbonate dose of 0.4 or 0.5 g/kg per day produces ergogenic effects.

Jul 25, 2020 · Results indicated that sodium bicarbonate supplementation enhanced muscular endurance, whether the task relied on small or large muscle groups. However, strength was not significantly improved, whether the task was completed in a rested or fatigued state.
