Function of buffering agents

A

artificially increase ability of body to buffer metabolic acidosis in an effort to delay fatigue and increase performance

61

2 commonly used buffering agents

A

sodium bicarbonate/citrate

beta alanine

62

increased extracellular HCO3 to increase arterial blood pH

gradient to draw out H

63
Q

Ergogenic dose of sodium bicarbonate and sodium citrate

A

sodium bicarbonate - .2-.4g/kg
sodium citrate 0.6-0.6 g/kg
60-90 min before exercise

64
Q

research of ergogenic benefits of sodium buffering agents

why ?

A

mixed results - some say bicarbonate enhances performance in short term intense tests while others have no benefits
hydrogens are in the cell

65
Q

3 ergogenic benefits of sodium agents

A

results in increased blood HCO3 and reduced blood H but skeletal muscle H is not altered
increased power output with repeated sprints
both sodium agents are effective

66
Q

side effect of sodium agents

GI upset - 10% are intoleratn
leads to vomiting and diarrhea
more pronounced with bicarbonate
so dont try it before a competition

67

often consumed with creatine so heard to distinguish

70
Q

side effect of beta alanine

A

paresthesia - pins and needles feeling on the face and skin

71
Q

beta alanine and carnosine

A

combines with histidine to get carnosine - so you can stockpile as it is the limiting substrate for the carnasine molecule

72
Q

buffering agents legal?

A

not banned but may be considered a violation of doping rule because you arent allowed to use any physiological substance to enhance performance - human thresholds are hold to test but they are illegal in horse racing
