Abstract in brief

  • The study found that a 4-day alkalizing diet improved 400m sprint performance in moderately trained participants, reducing their race times compared to an acidizing diet.
  • Participants on the alkalizing diet showed higher blood lactate levels and urinary pH, indicating improved buffering capacity and a more alkaline body environment.
  • The results suggest that an alkalizing diet might be a simple, natural way for athletes to boost anaerobic performance without using artificial supplements.
