Rowing Performance
This goal refers to athletic performance during rowing. While sometimes this may be the actual sport of rowing, studies on this are more likely to use a rowing machine in a laboratory. Muscular endurance and coordination are faculties associated with rowing.
Rowing Performance falls under theMuscle Gain & Exercisecategory.

What was studied?
Whether supplementing with beetroot and citrulline is better than beetroot alone for improving exercise performance in athletes.
The outcomes assessed were countermovement jump height, VO2peak, power output (average power and peak power), blood lactate (exercise), and maximum heart rate.
What was studied?
The effect of supplementation with sodium bicarbonate on 2-kilometer rowing performance.
The secondary outcomes included blood pH, blood lactate, and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Background
The effect of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) on exercise performance has been studied since the 1930s, and interest expanded internationally by the 1980s. NaHCO3 increases extracellular buffering capacity, thus enhancing physical performance, endurance, and recovery. It is difficult to identify optimal safe and effective dosing protocols because trials use varying doses and often combine NaHCO3 with other performance-enhancing supplements such as beta-alanine and creatine. What are the optimal dosages and timing of NaHCO3, and do other ergogenic supplements provide additional benefit when taken with NaHCO3?
