Purpose: We conducted a study to investigate the effects of resistance training combined with beta-alanine (BA) and sodium bicarbonate (SB) on the training volume of young trained individuals.

Methods: The subjects of the present study were 20 trained young boys (between 18-25 years old). Twenty individuals were randomly assigned to two groups of ten. One group received a placebo, while the other received supplements and exercise. Participants took supplements for 8 weeks with 3 sessions per week. The group taking (BA+SB) consumed BA daily during the 8 weeks of training (the first two weeks 3 gr per day in three meals- the second two weeks 4 gr per day in three meals- the third two weeks 5 gr per day and finally the forth two weeks 6 per day), while taking (SB the first two weeks 4 gr per sessions- second two weeks 4 gr- third two weeks 6 gr –forth two weeks 6gr) 30 minutes before each session per week. The training programs included bench press, squat, press shoulder, pull-up, and leg extension. The exercise was performed in three sets until failure, with a 70% 1RM and one minute of rest between sets. The training volume was calculated through the number of repetitions in each set during"8 weeks of resistance training. And The statistical method of one-way covariance "The term 'was utilized' was used.to determine the difference between the two groups.

Results: During the 8-week resistance training period, the training volume "There has been a significant increase." in the group who took supplements compared to the group who took placebo (P > 0.05).


Conclusions: According to the results of a study, an 8-week resistance exercise program that includes a combination of beta-alanine (BA) and sodium bicarbonate (SB) supplementation can significantly increase the training volume of trained individuals. "The training volume has increased." may lead to improved adaptations, but further research is necessary to confirm this.
