Benefits of Baking Soda for Exercise and Training
1.
Buffers Lactic Acid
During intense exercise (sprinting, HIIT, heavy lifting), your muscles produce lactic acid, making them feel:
- Burning
- Tight
- Fatigued
- Ready to quit early
Baking soda is alkaline, so when taken correctly, it helps neutralize lactic acid, allowing you to push harder for longer.
Result:
✔ More reps
✔ More sets
✔ Better sprint times
✔ Less muscle burn
2.
Improves High-Intensity Performance
Research shows sodium bicarbonate helps performance in:
- Weightlifting
- CrossFit
- Boxing / MMA
- Sprinting
- Rowing
- Swimming
- Any explosive, repeated intervals
It does not help much with slow steady-state cardio.
3.
Delays Muscle Fatigue
Because it increases the blood’s buffering capacity, muscles don’t “fail” as quickly.
You can expect:
- 2–15% performance improvement in high-intensity bursts
- Better endurance during long training sessions
- Higher tolerance for repeated sets
4.
May Improve Muscle Pumps and Blood Flow
Indirectly, when you reduce fatigue and increase output, you naturally get:
- Better pumps
- More metabolic stress
- More hypertrophy stimulus
This supports long-term muscle growth.
