- Description:
- Sodium Bicarbonate is one of five ergogenic aids that the IOC recognizes as having enough research to support its use in athletics and yet few practitioners are aware of its benefits. During this presentation we'll focus on how the research has evolved over the last 60+ years as well as the practical implications for use in sport for both day of performance and the potential for improved recovery.
- The audience will learn how to:
- Define the 2 main buffering systems in the body important to athletic performance
- Identify how those 2 systems are different and how to augment them via nutritional interventions.
- Understand how the current body of literature may impact different sport applications.
- Apply that working knowledge to performance and recovery strategies across human performance practitioner disciplines.
