                                Numerous meta-analyses and systematic reviews confirm that sodium bicarbonate can acutely enhance anaerobic power and capacity, with average performance gains of 2–3% reported in high-intensity efforts lasting between 30 seconds and 12 minutes. This makes it a popular and widely studied ergogenic aid.
