Abstract
ABSTRACT This systematic review analyzed the isolated and combined effects of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and beta-alanine (β-alanine) supplementation on combat sports athletes' performance. Using the PRISMA guidelines, studies were identified through 3 databases and only 10 articles were included, 6 investigated the isolated ingestion of NaHCO3, 3 investigated isolated ingestion of β-alanine, whereas only 1 investigated the coingestion of NaHCO3 and β-alanine on combat sports performance. The results showed that both acute isolated ingestion and chronic isolated ingestion of NaHCO3 and chronic β-alanine are effective to improve combat sports athletes' performance and the coingestion of β-alanine and NaHCO3 resulted in additional improvements.
