Due to the well-defined role of β-alanine as a substrate of carnosine (a major contributor to
H + buffering during high-intensity exercise), β-alanine is fast becoming a popular ergogenic …

Objective To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence on the effects
of β-alanine supplementation on exercise capacity and performance. Design This study was …

High-intensity exercise results in reduced substrate levels and accumulation of metabolites
in the skeletal muscle. The accumulation of these metabolites (eg ADP, Pi and H + ) can …

Purpose: We examined the effect of β-alanine supplementation plus sodium bicarbonate on
high-intensity cycling capacity. Methods: Twenty males (age=25±5 yr, height=1.79±0.06 m, …

Carnosine was first discovered in skeletal muscle, where its concentration is higher than in
any other tissue. This, along with an understanding of its role as an intracellular pH buffer has …

Intramuscular acidosis is a contributing factor to fatigue during high-intensity exercise. Many
nutritional strategies aiming to increase intra- and extracellular buffering capacity have been …

Introduction: Skeletal muscle carnosine content can be increased through [beta]-alanine
supplementation, but the maximum increase achievable with supplementation is unknown. No …

Purpose: To determine whether gastrointestinal (GI) distress affects the ergogenicity of
sodium bicarbonate and whether the degree of alkalemia or other metabolic responses is …

The concept of personalized nutrition and exercise prescription represents a topical and
exciting progression for the discipline given the large inter-individual variability that exists in …

This study investigates the influence of habitual caffeine intake on aerobic exercise-performance
responses to acute caffeine supplementation. A double-blind, crossover, …
