MUSCLE ACIDIFICATION IN UNDERWATER SPORTS, WAYS TO OVERCOME IT
Annotation
In the article, the authors examine the physiological mechanism of muscle acidification in swimmers using fins over short distances. It explains why muscles become fatigued quickly over distances of 50, 100, and 200 meters due to the accumulation of hydrogen ions, and what nutritional strategies — from carbohydrate loading to buffer supplements — can delay fatigue.
