Abstract

This study determined the effects of altering the H+ concentration during interval training, by ingesting NaHCO 3 (Alk-T) or a placebo (Pla-T), on changes in muscle buffer capacity (βm), endurance performance, and muscle metabolites. Pre- and posttraining peak O 2 uptake (V̇o 2 peak), lactate threshold (LT), and time to fatigue at 100% pretraining V̇o 2 peak intensity were assessed in 16 recreationally active women. Subjects were matched on the LT, were randomly placed into the Alk-T ( n = 8) or Pla-T ( n = 8) groups, and performed 8 wk (3 days/wk) of six to twelve 2-min cycle intervals at 140–170% of their LT, ingesting NaHCO 3 or a placebo before each training session (work matched between groups). Both groups had improvements in βm (19 vs. 9%; P < 0.05) and V̇o 2 peak (22 vs. 17%; P < 0.05) after the training period, with no differences between groups. There was a significant correlation between pretraining βm and percent change in βm ( r = −0.70, P < 0.05). There were greater improvements in both the LT (26 vs. 15%; P = 0.05) and time to fatigue (164 vs. 123%; P = 0.05) after Alk-T, compared with Pla-T. There were no changes to pre- or postexercise ATP, phosphocreatine, creatine, and intracellular lactate concentrations, or pH i after training. Our findings suggest that training intensity, rather than the accumulation of H+ during training, may be more important to improvements in βm. The group ingesting NaHCO 3 before each training session had larger improvements in the LT and endurance performance, possibly because of a reduced metabolic acidosis during training and a greater improvement in muscle oxidative capacity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
