the effects of pickle juice for a female recreational marathon runner by annaliese anderson
pickle juice is mostly associated with exercise associated muscle cramps (EAMCs)
what are the theories behind EAMCs?
dehydration theory
electrolyte depletion theory
altered neuromuscular control theory
the effects of pickle juice for a female recreational marathon runner by annaliese anderson
what is the altered neuromuscular control theory?
muscle cramps occur due to a disruption in the balance between excitatory and inhibitory signals within the neuromuscular system. This imbalance leads to an overactive and sustained contraction of the muscle, resulting in cramping.
acetic acid plays a role here…

what is the altered neuromuscular control theory; acetic acid role?
acetic acid can cause a neuromuscular stimulation in the oral cavity which stimulates a reflex that inhibits the firing of alpha motor neurons in the cramping muscle

study on altered neuromuscular control theory
- participants were elicited a flexor hallucis brevis cramp in a dehydrated state.
what was the pickle juice effect?
pickle juice inhibited muscle cramps in hypohydrated humans
so…..
yes, pickle juice did help resolve cramps by 60 seconds faster compared to deionized water. Thus pickle juice does support the altered neuromuscular control theory

study on unacclimatized individuals exercised vigorously iin a hot environment. what were the results on plasma and electrolyte responses to pickle juice?
no difference in electrolyte concentration

study on multiple doses, participants over course of 3 days received none or 1 or 2 pickle juice. exercise 30min, rest, exercise again, What were the results ?
no change in osmolarity or volumed

- cheap
- high in ______
- not generally associated with increased ______ distress
- can encourage ______
- might help with muscle cramps
- cheap
- high in sodium

pickle juice cons:
will it drastically change plasma electrolyte imbalance?
no
pickle juice cons
it will help with muscle cramps?
most likely not
pickle juice provide adequate kcal?
no
superstitions, biopsychosocial aspects, routine, and sports ethic will likely have a bigger impact on the runner’s mentality than anything the research says
true
efficacy of sodium bicarbonate on athletic performance by brianna
meta analysis have reported that supplementation can improve performance by _________ in various _________-____________ activites
2-3%
high-intensity
efficacy of sodium bicarbonate on athletic performance by brianna
what is the recommended dosage for sodium bicarbonate?
0.3g/kg body mass
efficacy of sodium bicarbonate on athletic performance by brianna
the supplement appears most beneficial during ___________ _______-_________ exercise lasting over 4 minutes (4-10 minutes)
prolonged high-intensity
efficacy of sodium bicarbonate on athletic performance by brianna
what is the ergogenic effect of sodium bicarbonate?
the ergogenic effect appears to work by delaying intracellular acidosis that typically occurs at around 60% of peak power output
efficacy of sodium bicarbonate on athletic performance by brianna
sodium bicarbonate can cause _______ distress
Gi distress
efficacy of sodium bicarbonate on athletic performance by brianna
study by hilton serched for sodium bicrabonate delivery methods to aid or lessen GI distress, what were the results
enteric coated supplement found less gi distress symptoms
efficacy of sodium bicarbonate on athletic performance by brianna
Maurten is a supplement brand, what are their claims on sodium bicarbonate and body’s buffering capacity?
can improve the body’s buffering capacity by increasing blood bicarbonate and blood pH concentrations
efficacy of sodium bicarbonate on athletic performance by brianna
Maurten is a supplement brand, what are their claims on sodium bicarbonate and ability to reduce GI distress?
can reduce GI distress by mixing CHO hydrogel to encapsulate the mini bicarb tablets, making it easier to take higher doses. this method allows to bypass the stomach and for a slower release of bicarbonate in the intestine and lengthen the duration of the bicarb effect
