| Beta-Alanine Supplementation Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | Background Beta-alanine is widely used as an ergogenic aid in sports nutrition, yet most evidence comes from male or mixed-sex samples. | 1 | Gu J (2026) | Effects of beta-alanine supplementation on exercise performance and related physiological outcomes in women: a systematic review and meta-analysis. |
| Beta-Alanine Supplementation Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | RoB 2 and GRADE were used to assess risk of bias and certainty of evidence, respectively. | 1 | Gu J (2026) | Effects of beta-alanine supplementation on exercise performance and related physiological outcomes in women: a systematic review and meta-analysis. |
| Beta-Alanine Supplementation Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | Moreover, certainty of evidence was very low for all outcomes after downgrading for risk of bias, imprecision, and publication bias; peak power and anaerobic performance were additionally downgraded for indirectness. | 1 | Gu J (2026) | Effects of beta-alanine supplementation on exercise performance and related physiological outcomes in women: a systematic review and meta-analysis. |
| Beta-Alanine Supplementation Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effects of beta-alanine supplementation on exercise performance and related outcomes in women. | 1 | Gu J (2026) | Effects of beta-alanine supplementation on exercise performance and related physiological outcomes in women: a systematic review and meta-analysis. |
| Beta-Alanine Supplementation Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | −1 − + −1 −1 −1 1 1 2 4 2 Sodium bicarbonate (SB), commonly known as baking soda, is an extracellular buffering agent with increasing research evidence supporting its use as an ergogenic aid. | 3 | Antonio Brandi (2026) | Common questions and misconceptions of sodium bicarbonate as an ergogenic aid: what does the science really show? |
| Beta-Alanine Supplementation Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | These results showed that the acidosis response associated with the exercise task significantly reduced the blood's buffering capacity and its ability to buffer the increase in hydrogen ions (H) associated with lactate accumulation, resultantly limiting the runner's endurance capacity. | 3 | Antonio Brandi (2026) | Common questions and misconceptions of sodium bicarbonate as an ergogenic aid: what does the science really show? |
| Beta-Alanine Supplementation Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | 3 4 5–7 There is robust evidence supporting the ergogenic effects of SB on exercise performance []; however, the potential gastrointestinal symptoms (GIS) associated with the compound likely reduces its usage amongst athletes []. | 3 | Antonio Brandi (2026) | Common questions and misconceptions of sodium bicarbonate as an ergogenic aid: what does the science really show? |
| Beta-Alanine Supplementation Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | It is commonly ingested in doses from 0.2 to 0.5 g·kgbody mass (BM) and intended to improve performance that utilizes non-oxidative metabolism. | 3 | Antonio Brandi (2026) | Common questions and misconceptions of sodium bicarbonate as an ergogenic aid: what does the science really show? |
