Abstract :In this study, the effects of external sodium bicarbonate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NaHCO3); intake on performance in middle-distance running with additional weight were investigated. Male endurance athletes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=13); with an average age of 26.38 ± 2.81 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(years); and 5.92 ± 1.84 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(years); of sport experience, and with a maximum bodyweight of 100 kilograms are involved voluntarily. Performance measurements were made by Cooper run test, while the athletes carried a load with the additional weight of 20% of their body weight. One group of athletes were given 300 ml fruit juice mixed with 20 gr. starch and the other group was given sodium bicarbonate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NaHCO3); at a dosage of 0.3 g / kg mixed with 300 ml fruit juice given as single-blind. Anthropometric measurements, blood lactate, running distance and heart rate were measured on the test days. The analysis was examined by repetitive measures ANOVA at p<0.05 significance level via SPSS 14 program. The results revealed that running distances with the intake of sodium bicarbonate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NaHCO3); increased and there was a significant difference in blood lactate levels insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p <0.05);. In Cooper running test, the performance of athletes using sodium bicarbonate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NaHCO3); with the additional weight of 20% of their body weight increases.
