About this trial
The aim of this research is to determine whether sodium citrate supplementation, taken at the best individual time, would improve repeated sprint performance in professional female soccer players.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Does sodium citrate improve sprint times, peak power, minimum power, and mean power during repeated sprints? 2. Does sodium citrate lower fatigue index (the drop in power across sprints) during repeated sprint exercise? 3. Does sodium citrate change blood bicarbonate, pH, and lactate levels before and after exercise? 4. Does sodium citrate affect how hard exercise feels (perceived exertion)?
