NaHCOPerformance
This study investigated the ergogenic effects of CAF and NaHCOPerformance in this study was defined as the repetition of performing all exercises in each round until voluntary exhaustion. Our results indicated that all conditions improved the performance compared to PLA during the Cindy protocol. Although the differences between conditions were not statistically significant, a close review of the results showed a greater improvement in performance in CAF + NaHCOThe results of the present study showed that CAF and NaHCOThe results of the present study showed that CAF and NaHCOOur findings showed that the combination of CAF and NaHCOOur results showed that NaHCOFinally, our findings showed that NaHCOLimitations of this study do exist. Before the trial started, participants were well familiarized with the Cindy protocol. Even though the findings were not statistically significant, a practice effect might have impacted them. The small sample size of our study is another limitation. Participants were selected from just one CrossFit gym to ensure uniformity of training regimens throughout the research. More research with a larger sample size may be required to confirm the conclusions of this study. In addition, the primary limitation identified in the present study pertains to the lack of control over extracurricular physical activities that participants engaged in outside the scope of the Koohpaye Box club. Additionally, the variable values of sleep before each intervention session also presented a potential confounding factor. Klier et al. reported a significant positive effect of sleep quality on sports performance in CrossFit participants [
