Influence of an alkalizing supplement on markers of endurance performance using a double-blind placebo-controlled design

Table 6 Summary minute ventilation (V_E, L/min) measures resulting from five upper body power tests

Group	Test Period	Constant Power Test	UBP10 Test Trial #1	UBP10 Test Trial #2	UBP10 Test Trial #3	UBP60 Test
Placebo (n = 12)	Pre-Test	100.6 ± 11.5	87.9 ± 10.0	99.4 ± 10.2	110.4 ± 9.4	147.2 ± 12.1
	Post-Test	100.7 ± 13.2	92.3 ± 9.9	109.8 ± 9.9	113.9 ± 10.1	148.6 ± 13.2
Treatment (n = 12)	Pre-Test	104.6 ± 11.7	102.9 ± 7.7	126.0 ± 12.8	129.7 ± 10.3	163.5 ± 12.0
	Post-Test	101.7 ± 10.6	97.3 ± 9.8	122.4 ± 11.8	132.1 ± 12.9	†153.3 ± 11.1

NOTE: All values expressed as Mean ± SE; UBP10 = 10-sec upper body power test; UBP60 = 60-sec upper body power test
†Post-test measure of V_E for UPB60 test was nearly significantly lower than pre-test measures within the treatment group (P < 0.10)
