Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of heart rate variability in hypoxia and normoxia training conditions and the effect of sodium bicarbonate supplement
Design
This study will be performed in four days with a rest interval of 72 hours. Subjects will first be classified into two groups of intervention (1 or 2) and control (3 or 4) based on the date of enrollment in the Excel spreadsheet. At the end of the test, Subjects will take the test as a crossover in the other group.
Settings and conduct
The test will be performed in the exercise physiology laboratory of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences of Guilan University. This study is a double-blind study so that subjects and researchers will be unaware of supplementation in different conditions (hypoxia and normoxia).
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Trained athlete Physical health Physical preparation to perform the anaerobic activity Cardiorespiratory health
Intervention groups
Sodium bicarbonate consumption group and anaerobic activity under normoxia (intervention) Sodium bicarbonate consumption group and anaerobic activity in hypoxia (intervention) Placebo group and anaerobic activity under normoxia (control) Placebo group and anaerobic activity in hypoxia (control)
Main outcome variables
Heart rate variability; Blood pressure; Anaerobic power of lower limb; Rate of perceived exertion; Muscle fatigue

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Use the random selection method by Excel software. In this method, we first enter the names of the subjects in Excel, and then in another part, we specify the position of the desired groups in two separate sections of 6 subjects. Then in these two sections, we will execute the following code so that people are randomly placed in groups of 6 subjects. =INDEX($A$3:$A$12,RANDBETWEEN(1,ROWS($A$3:$A$12)),1)
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
In this study, the subjects were not aware of how the supplement or placebo was distributed. The G-physician was aware of the subjects receiving the supplement to take action if any possible allergies to the supplement occurred. Then, the physician weighed the supplement and placebo using the determined amount per weight of each subject and delivered it to the subjects for consumption in his presence by coding on each day of the test.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Subjects will consume 0.3 grams of sodium bicarbonate per kilogram of body weight one hour before the start of the activity. After the initial measurements and warm-up, the anaerobic activity of the Wingate will be performed by the Monark cycle ergometer and by a training mask (Phantom Athletics 001 model) in hypoxic conditions. The test process will take 9 minutes and then 30 minutes at rest (sitting) the desired variables will be monitored.

Other

2

Description
Intervention group: Subjects will consume 0.3 grams of sodium bicarbonate per kilogram of body weight one hour before exercise. After the initial measurements and warm-up, the anaerobic activity of the Wingate will be performed by the Monark cycle ergometer under normoxic conditions and without a mask. The test process will take 9 minutes and then 30 minutes at rest (sitting) the desired variables will be monitored.
Category
Other

3

Description
Control group: Subjects will receive the same amount of placebo, which contains dextrose. After the initial measurements and warm-up, the anaerobic activity of the Wingate will be performed by the Monark cycle ergometer and by a training mask (Phantom Athletics 001 model) in hypoxic conditions. The test process will take 9 minutes and then 30 minutes at rest (sitting) the desired variables will be monitored.

4

Description
Control group: Subjects will receive the same amount of placebo, which contains dextrose. After the initial measurements and warm-up, the anaerobic bouts of the Wingate will be performed by the Monark cycle ergometer under normoxic conditions and without a mask. The test process will take 9 minutes and then 30 minutes at rest (sitting) the desired variables will be monitored.
