The Buffering Capacity of Beta-Alanine
2 likes573 views
The document discusses the role of beta-alanine in enhancing buffering capacity and energy sources during anaerobic exercise, specifically its relationship with muscle carnosine levels. Research highlights improvements in performance metrics such as sprinting, endurance cycling, and strength in various athletic contexts after beta-alanine supplementation. Overall, the findings suggest that beta-alanine can positively influence exercise performance and reduce fatigue.
The Buffering Capacity of Beta-Alanine
- 1. The buffering capacity of beta-alanine
- 2. Anaerobic Exercise Requires Rapid Sources of Energy
- 3. L-histidine β-alanine So what does beta-alanine do? Carnosine H+ H+H+
- 4. research has shown that.. 0 1 2 3 4 1.6 g 3.4 g 6.2 g betaalaninedose Muscle carnosine (mmol/kg)
- 5. Great…but does β-alanine enhance performance? van Thienen et al 2009. MSSE Better sprint performance in endurance cycling Baguette et al 2010.
