Sodium Bicarbonate Sprint Performance Meta-AnalysisMethodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2.0 tool, and the certainty of evidence was evaluated via the GRADE framework.1Liang W (2026)No ergogeniceffect of β-alanine on repeated sprint ability: a systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Sodium Bicarbonate Sprint Performance Meta-AnalysisConclusion In conclusion, chronic β-alanine supplementation does not provide a clear improvement in total work capacity, maximal anaerobic power, or fatigue resistance during repeated sprinting.1Liang W (2026)No ergogeniceffect of β-alanine on repeated sprint ability: a systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Sodium Bicarbonate Sprint Performance Meta-AnalysisObjective Chronic beta-alanine supplementation is a prevalent nutritional strategy to augment intracellular buffering capacity via elevated muscle carnosine.1Liang W (2026)No ergogeniceffect of β-alanine on repeated sprint ability: a systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Sodium Bicarbonate Sprint Performance Meta-AnalysisWhile its ergogenic efficacy in continuous, high-intensity exercise is established, its impact on repeated sprint ability (RSA)-governed by extremely brief work bouts and phosphocreatine (PCr) kinetics-remains equivocal.1Liang W (2026)No ergogeniceffect of β-alanine on repeated sprint ability: a systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Sodium Bicarbonate Sprint Performance Meta-AnalysisBackground A growing body of evidence supports the use of supplements to enhance cycling performance through both direct and indirect mechanisms.3Rowland A (2026)A comprehensive review of the physiology and evidence base to guide the use of ergogenic and medical supplements for enhanced cycling performance.
Sodium Bicarbonate Sprint Performance Meta-AnalysisEvidence-based options for cyclists include calcium, cherry juice, collagen, curcumin, iron, multivitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, pickle juice, probiotics, protein, vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc.3Rowland A (2026)A comprehensive review of the physiology and evidence base to guide the use of ergogenic and medical supplements for enhanced cycling performance.
