Abstract

Since limited studies have examined the simultaneous use of creatine and sodium bicarbonate supplements in team sports, the aim of this study was to evaluate creatine and sodium bicarbonate supplementation on anaerobic performance, fatigue index and futsal special performance test (FSPT (in elite futsal players.
Methodology: 32 futsal players (age of 22.23± 0 0.23 years) were selected objectively and randomly divided into four creatine, sodium bicarbonate, combined and placebo groups. FSPT and RAST anaerobicity test was performed .intervention During 7 days of supplementation, the creatine group received 20 grams of creatine daily, the sodium-bicarbonate group 0.3 mg / kg, the combined group (20 grams of creatine and 0.3 mg / kg sodium bicarbonate) and the control group 20 grams of starch, in four servings.
Result :showed that the peak of anaerobic power of creatine and combination groups was significantly higher than the placebo group. There was no significant difference in the fatigue index of the groups. There is a significant difference between the time of FSPT of each creatine and combination groups with the placebo and sodium bicarbonate groups and between the creatine and combination groups in the post-test
Conclusion: Creatine supplementation, unlike sodium bicarbonate, improves the anaerobic and functional parameters of futsal players. Also, the simultaneous use of creatine and sodium bicarbonate, by enhancing the synergistic effect, gives a more positive response to the anaerobic and functional indices of futsal players
