From: Effect of sodium bicarbonate and beta-alanine supplementation on maximal sprint swimming
Blood sodium and potassium values (mean ± SD) in the supplemented groups in different measurement time points. A) Blood sodium (B-Sodium), B) potassium (B-Potassium), PL = placebo, SB = sodium bicarbonate, BA + PL = beta-alanine and placebo, BA + SB = beta-alanine and sodium bicarbonate. pre 1 = 60 min before swimming, pre 2 = 2 min before swimming the first 100 m, I and III 2 min after both 100 m swimming, II and IV 8 min after both 100 m swimming, * Indicates a significant (p < 0.05) difference compared to PL.
