In the double-blind randomised cross-over study study, researchers from Germany's Institute of Sport wanted to explore whether using bicarb soda (believed to be an alkalising agent that neutralises acidity – known as buffering) could assist athletes to run farther, faster.

After drinking either sodium bicarbonate (0.3g/kg) or placebo (4g NaCl) in 700ml of water one and a half hours earlier, 18 trained runners completed two time-to-exhaustion tests and two constant load tests (a 35 minute run at 95 per cent followed by exercise till exhaustion).
