Beyond Belief? Absence of Double-Blinding and Limited Ecological Validity in Carbohydrate Loading Research
Carbohydrate loading (CL) has long been a cornerstone of endurance nutrition, yet its true efficacy remains uncertain. Although CL is commonly associated with improved time to fatigue and modest performance gains in exercise lasting ∼90–240 min, few studies have employed double-blind, placebo-controlled (DBPC) designs. Given that belief and expectation can independently influence performance, it remains unclear whether reported benefits reflect CL or placebo effects.

Nutrition X-Change Vol. 9 - Sodium Bicarbonate: More Than Just Baking Powder
Most of us recognise sodium bicarbonate as baking powder and are aware of its many uses in the kitchen. What we probably don't know, however, is how it can also be used as a supplement and the surprising benefits it can have to an athlete. In our latest X-Change paper, Felipe Marticorena, Eimear Dolan and Bryan Saunders give the lowdown on sodium bicarbonate as a sports supplement, explaining how it can actually enhance sporting performance.
Frontiers | Mouth Rinsing With a Pink Non-caloric, Artificially-Sweetened Solution Improves Self-Paced Running Performance and Feelings of Pleasure in Habitually Active Individuals | Nutrition
Introduction The effects of carbohydrate mouth rinse on running and cycling performance are well-documented in temperate conditions, with a 2–3% ergogenic benefit commonly reported during exercise bouts of ≤ 1 h duration (1–4).
Absence of dietary control precludes solid conclusions for sport nutrition trials
We read with great interest the study recently published by Manaf et al. (2020), which investigated the effects of acute branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation on cycling performance and neuromuscular fatigue during a prolonged, self-paced cycling time-trial (TT).

Beta alanine supplementation
Beta-alanine has become a “must-have” supplement for many athletes, but does the science support the hype? Its inclusion as one of five performance-enhancing supplements with enough evidence to support its use in the International Olympic Committee’s recent consensus statement suggests it does. But what is beta-alanine, what does it do and in what situations might someone benefit this popular supplement?

AIoT helps move transportation forward
By now, we're all aware of the seismic shift occurring across industries as a result of the Internet of Things. But do we all see the changes in the same light? From where I sit, there's still a wide gap in viewpoints and perspectives. In its simplest form, we often hear the Internet of Things described as a network of connected “devices” that enables connectivity, interaction and exchange of data.

Is By-passing the Stomach a Means to Optimise Sodium Bicarbonate Supplementation? A Case-study With a Post-Bariatric Surgery Individual
Sodium bicarbonate (SB) is an ergogenic supplement shown to improve high-intensity exercise via increased blood bicarbonate buffering. Substantial amounts of the ingested bicarbonate are neutralised in the stomach. Bariatric surgery results in a small gastric pouch which dramatically reduces exposure time of any ingested food in the stomach.

β-alanine supplementation to improve exercise capacity and performance: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effects of ?-alanine supplementation, accounting for a number of potential modifying factors including exercise duration, type and mode, sample population, total amount ingested and study length. Furthermore, the combined effects of sodium bicarbonate and ?-alanine were also investigated.
Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition
Agents capable of increasing extracellular buffering capacity to combat exercise induced acidosis have been researched for the better part of a century. Sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate and sodium/calcium lactate supplementation all result in increased circulating bicarbonate and have independently been shown to improve exercise capacity and performance.
β-alanine supplementation to improve exercise capacity and performance: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Objective To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence on the effects of ?-alanine supplementation on exercise capacity and performance. Design This study was designed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. A 3-level mixed effects model was employed to model effect sizes and account for dependencies within data.
Dose-Response of Sodium Bicarbonate Ingestion Highlights Individuality in Time Course of Blood Analyte Responses
To defend against hydrogen cation accumulation and muscle fatigue during exercise, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO ) ingestion is commonplace. The individualized dose-response relationship between NaHCO ingestion and blood biochemistry is unclear. The present study investigated the bicarbonate, pH, base excess and sodium responses to NaHCO ingestion.
It is Time to Ban Rapid Weight Loss from Combat Sports
Abstract Most competitions in combat sports are divided into weight classes, theoretically allowing for fairer and more evenly contested disputes between athletes of similar body size, strength and agility. It has been well documented that most athletes, regardless of the combat sports discipline, reduce significant amounts of body weight in the days prior to competition to qualify for lighter weight classes.
What lies beneath the math matters
Has analytics become just a buzzword, the hype du jour? It’s great that analytics are now cool, but few people have taken then time to understand what analytics really are and how they can help solve their business problems.
The Internet of Things - it's not just about the connectivity
Recently, I had an opportunity to participate in an analyst briefing around the Internet of Things (IoT). During the review, a chart was shown to summarize the status of IoT projects in the manufacturing sector. I wasn’t surprised by the varying degree of “completeness” of IoT projects across this industry, but I was struck by a follow-up question regarding which vendors they plan to partner with over the next 12-24 months to execute projects in this space.
Don't make this mistake with new equipment
By now, we have all heard about the Internet of Things (IoT), or the Industrial Internet. Across industries, organizations are attempting to instrument and measure all critical business systems and assets in an effort to drive improved production and service delivery. It is estimated that by 2020, companies will spend $500 billion on the Internet of Things. That growth in connected devices and increased data volumes will certainly create new value opportunities … won’t it?
