Beta-alanine before training – who should use it and why?

The non-protein amino acid called beta-alanine is an extremely common component of dietary supplements and products for athletes, which are recommended for consumption before training. What are the reasons for using such products? What kind of physical activity will benefit most from the use of this substance?

What are the advantages of beta-alanine when consumed before training?

The substance called beta-alanine is one of the main components responsible for the synthesis of carnosine-dipeptide accumulated in all muscles. Carnosine plays an extremely important role in the context of physical activity, which is related to its real contribution to the regulation of the acid-base balance. Therefore, it can be assumed that beta-alanine used before training acts as a kind of pH buffer, which can have a real impact on fatigue levels during exercise.

 

Regular beta-alanine supplementation may prove to be an important factor for exercise parameters. Some scientific studies have shown that its use before scheduled training can have a beneficial effect on the increase of maximum oxygen uptake and lead to an increase in the body's oxygen capacity. Some experts see this substance as a compound with valuable ergogenic properties. The results of some studies may indicate potential effects of beta-alanine in the context of training adaptation and neuromuscular fitness.

In which sports should beta-alanine be used before training?

Beta-alanine supplementation before training is especially recommended for beginners and experienced athletes of strength and endurance sports. Enthusiasts of figure sports (i.e. bodybuilding), Crossfit, powerlifting, as well as fans of team sports (e.g. football) or enthusiasts of endurance sports (e.g. long-distance running or cycling) will benefit from regular use of this substance.
