Can sodium bicarbonate boost finswimming performance?
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a single dose of sodium bicarbonate (a common food ingredient) before swimming can help national-level finswimmers perform better. It's for athletes ages 15–30 who train at least four times a week.

This trial studies whether taking sodium bicarbonate changes “energy” in cells and improves metabolic acidosis (an acid build-up) in people with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease. You may be able to join if your kidney function and blood bicarbonate levels fit their targets and you meet safety rules.
This trial tests whether taking sodium bicarbonate tablets by mouth can help correct low bicarbonate levels in people on hemodialysis, compared to using higher bicarbonate in the dialysis fluid. It aims to find a safer and more effective way to treat metabolic acidosis, a common condition in dialysis patients.
