In this article, we will discuss sports and sodium bicarbonate.
Since sodium bicarbonate is found in many foods, we don't often think about it, but how can it be used in sports?
I will introduce the evidence for this.
About the evidence
A number of studies have evaluated sodium bicarbonate as an ergogenic aid for swimmers, cyclists, boxers, tennis and rugby players, judo practitioners, and others.
Because of conflicting research findings, it is not clear which activities and individuals might benefit most from sodium bicarbonate supplementation in real-world situations.Reviewers of these studies generally agree that ingesting approximately 300 mg/kg body weight of sodium bicarbonate results in mild to moderate performance benefits in sports that involve several minutes of intense or intermittent high-intensity activity.
However, individuals respond differently to bicarbonate loading.
This approach may not benefit some users and may worsen rather than improve the performance of others.In particular, recreationally active individuals may find that a supplement is ergogenic in one exercise session but not in another.
A number of studies suggest that supplementation with sodium bicarbonate is most likely to improve performance in trained athletes.

POINT.
It is said to be able to control the ph level in the blood.
The main side effects are gastrointestinal disorders.
Major side effects are gastrointestinal disorders.
Summary
Oh, is it good? The content of the article made me wonder if it was a good thing, but the estimation of the amount needed to measure the effects shown in these articles was that it should be taken in large quantities, and it was noted that it would put a burden on the stomach and intestines.
If it was mixed with water, excessive water intake, etc.
Can I use it? I thought it would be difficult without training. I thought.You might think that it would be better to take supplements. However, as I mentioned earlier, you need to take a lot of supplements in order to get the desired effect.
And since it seems to vary from person to person, it might be a good idea to consider it if you are involved in the relevant sport and are struggling to improve your performance. That's about it.
