Silver Lake Limnological Survey, 2004
During the spring, summer and fall of 2004, a limnological survey of Silver Lake was conducted. The purpose of the survey was to update the status of Silver Lake. Some of the questions being asked were as follows. Was the lake highly productive? Were the bottom layers of the lake devoid of oxygen? Was phosphorus being released from the sediments into the water column? Were there algal blooms? What might be the cause of them? Were there blue-green algae present? Were algal toxins present? When? Monitoring was designed to take samples only during the summer period with depth to minimize cost. We decided to sample an extra week in the fall because of the blue-green algae bloom that was observed during September of 2004
The effects of sodium bicarbonate supplementation at individual time-to-peak blood bicarbonate on 4-km cycling time trial performance in the heat.
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of individualised sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO ) supplementation according to a pre-established individual time-to-peak (TTP) blood bicarbonate (HCO ) on 4-km cycling time trial (TT) performance in the heat. Eleven recreationally trained male cyclists (age: 28βΒ±β6 years, height: 180βΒ±β6β
cm, body mass: 80.5βΒ±β8.4β
kg) volunteered for this study in a randomised, crossover, triple-blind, placebo-controlled design. An initial visit was conducted to determine TTP HCO following 0.2β
g.kg body mass (BM) NaHCO ingestion. Subsequently, on three separate occasions, participants completed a 4-km cycling TT in the heat (30 degrees centigrade; Β°C) (relative humidity βΌ40%) following ingestion of either NaHCO (0.2β
g.kg body mass), a sodium chloride placebo (0.2β
g.kg BM; PLA) or no supplementation (control; CON) at the predetermined individual TTP HCO . Absolute peak [HCO ] prior to the 4-km cycling TT's was elevated for NaHCO compared to PLA (+2.8β
mmol.l ; β=β0.002; β=β2.2) and CON (+2.5β
mmol.l ; β<β0.001; β=β2.1). Completion time following NaHCO was 5.6βΒ±β3.2 s faster than PLA (1.6%; CI: 2.8, 8.3; β=β0.001; β=β0.2) and 4.7βΒ±β2.8 s faster than CON (1.3%; CI: 2.3, 7.1; β=β0.001; β=β0.2). These results demonstrate that NaHCO ingestion at a pre-established individual TTP HCO improves 4-km cycling TT performance in the heat, likely through enhancing buffering capacity
