Blood alkalosis induction and exercise performance during high-intensity exercise

Low

Population: Trained athletes performing high-intensity and supramaximal exercise

Study type: Narrative review of RCTs and physiological studies

Dose context: —

Sodium citrate at 500 mg/kg body mass in capsule form reliably induces blood alkalosis and is most beneficial for short-duration, very high-intensity exercise; only 25% of observations showed significant performance improvements in high-intensity intermittent exercise, and gastrointestinal symptoms are a key limiting factor.

Citation: Urwin CS, Snow RJ, Condo D, Snipe R, Wadley GD, Carr AJ. Factors Influencing Blood Alkalosis and Other Physiological Responses, Gastrointestinal Symptoms, and Exercise Performance Following Sodium Citrate Supplementation: A Review. Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab. 2021;31(2):168-186.•DOI: 10.1123/ijsnem.2020-0192•https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33440332/

Capsule administration preferred over liquid to reduce GI distress.

Performance during supramaximal cycling (time to exhaustion)

Low

Population: Trained male cyclists

Study type: Randomized crossover trial

Dose context: —

Sodium citrate ingestion significantly increased time to exhaustion during supramaximal cycling exercise versus placebo, associated with reduced intramuscular acidosis and improved metabolic performance.

Individual RCT; small sample size; effect may not generalize to all exercise modalities.

Blood pressure reduction and cardiovascular risk

High

Population: Adults with and without hypertension; 22 RCTs plus cohort data

Study type: Systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs and cohort studies

Dose context: —

Increased potassium intake reduced blood pressure in people with hypertension (systolic −3.49 mmHg, diastolic −1.96 mmHg); associated with 24% lower risk of stroke (RR 0.76, 95% CI 0.66–0.89) with no adverse effect on blood lipids or renal function.

WHO-commissioned review; evidence base for potassium intake guidelines.

Potassium regulation, muscle fatigue, and exercise performance

Low

Population: Healthy adults and trained athletes

Study type: Integrative physiological review

Dose context: —

Potassium is actively redistributed between skeletal muscle and plasma during high-intensity exercise; severe reduction of the trans-sarcolemmal K+ gradient contributes to muscle and whole-body fatigue. Maintaining adequate potassium status supports normal neuromuscular function and exercise capacity.

Citation: Lindinger MI, Cairns SP. Regulation of muscle potassium: exercise performance, fatigue and health implications. Eur J Appl Physiol. 2021;121(3):721-748.•DOI: 10.1007/s00421-020-04546-8•https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33392745/

Mechanistic review; intervention RCT evidence for potassium supplementation on athletic performance is limited.
