Brief Summary

The effects of 2 weeks 1000 ml daily mineral water Borjomy® consumption of anaerobic performance and acid-base balance in comparison with purified electrolite smart-water and still drinking water.

Detailed Description

Bicarbonate supplementation increases the efficiency of the body's buffer systems and improves anaerobic performance in athletes when taking bicarbonate just before training. In the course of studies, a similar effect was confirmed for professional swimmers at a distance of 200 meters freestyle, cyclists at distances up to 3 km and track and field athletes in steeplechase. However, these studies were conducted on professional male athletes, and it is interesting to compare the effects with non-athletes population.

Borjomi® is a natural bicarbonate sodium mineral water with high taste qualities. The effects of Borjomi® as bicarbonate source on physical performance are another research interest.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of the regular use of bicarbonate-containing mineral water (Borjomi®) on anaerobic performance and acid-base balance during short-term physical activity of high intensity in comparison with purified electrolite smart-water and still drinking water.

Study Groups

Borjomi

Healthy volunteers (N16, 8 males and 8 females) 30.63±1.04 y.o. with BMI 22.17±0.75 kg/m2 were randomly allocated to Borjomi group. Participants received 30 bottles (500 ml) of natural mineral water Borjomi® for daily 1000 ml (2 bottles) water consumption for 14 days (from visits 1 and 2). Participants drank the first bottle on the visit 1 after the first study Wingate test and the last bottle on the visit 3 before the second study Wingate test

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Regular consumption of natural mineral water Borjomi® with high bicarbonate content

Intervention Type: OTHER

Natural mineral water Borjomi® is a transparent mineral water with specific alkaline taste and smell. The chemical composition includes sodium hydrocarbonate (HCO2-) 3995 mg/l (3500-5000 mg/l), chlorides (Cl-) 360 mg/l (250-500 mg/l), and nitrites (NO2-) \<0.005 mg/l (up to 1 mg/l). The "Borjomi" water was packaged into standardized unlabeled 500 ml bottles. Participants were prescribed with 2 bottles (1000 ml) of daily consumption for 14 days. In order to maintain their usual water regimen, the participants additionally consumed steal drinking water on demand. The day before testing, participants were asked to abstain from their routine training and other physical activities.

Smart Spring

Healthy volunteers (N16, 8 males and 8 females) 28.56±1.61 y.o. with BMI 23.14±0.60 kg/m2 were randomly allocated to Smart Spring group. Participants received 30 bottles (500 ml) of processed drinking water Smart Spring® for daily 1000 ml (2 bottles) water consumption for 14 days (from visits 1 and 2). Participants drank the first bottle on the visit 1 after the first study Wingate test and the last bottle on the visit 3 before the second study Wingate test.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Regular consumption of processed drinking water Smart Spring®

Intervention Type: OTHER

Processed drinking water Smart Spring® has no colour and smell with delicate specific taste. The chemical composition includes sodium (Na+) 33.6 mg/l, magnesium (Mg2+) 10.03 mg/l, calcium (Ca2+) 34.57 mg/l, chlorides (Cl-) 69.79 mg/l, sulfates (SO42-) 22.00 mg/l, and hydrocarbonates (HCO2-) 96.48 mg/l. The Smart Spring® water was packaged into standardized unlabeled 500 ml bottles. Participants were prescribed with 2 bottles (1000 ml) of daily consumption for 14 days. In order to maintain their usual water regimen, the participants additionally consumed steal drinking water on demand. The day before testing, participants were asked to abstain from their routine training and other physical activities.

Control group

Healthy volunteers (N16, 8 males and 8 females) 30.69±1.74 y.o. with BMI 22.67±0.51 kg/m2 were randomly allocated to Control group. Participants received 30 bottles (500 ml) of steal drinking water Святой Источник® for daily 1000 ml (2 bottles) water consumption for 14 days (from visits 1 and 2). Participants drank the first bottle on the visit 1 after the first study Wingate test and the last bottle on the visit 3 before the second study Wingate test.

Group Type: PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Regular consumption of still drinking water

Intervention Type: OTHER

Still drinking water Святой Источник®is a standard steal drinking water, that has no colour, taste, and smell. The Святой Источник® water was packaged into standardized unlabeled 500 ml bottles. Participants were prescribed with 2 bottles (1000 ml) of daily consumption for 14 days. In order to maintain their usual water regimen, the participants additionally consumed steal drinking water on demand. Participants were asked to abstain from mineral water consumption for the entire observation period.
