Table 3. Summary table with practical guidelines for the proposed use of dietary supplements by long-track speed skaters Event(s) Dietary supplement Creatine monohydrate Suggested daily dose Acute effect: 20 g; chronic effect: 20 g first 6 d thereafter 2 g*d^-162 Supplementation instructions With a dose of 20 g*d^-1 – 4 × 5 g; dissolved in hot water + CHO drink or snack29 Supplementation period Acute effect: 5-7 d;27 chronic effect: strength training period Acute effect: 500, 1000, and 1500 m; chronic effect: all events for which strength and sprint training is used β-alanine 4-6.4 g18 Divided over 0.8 g servings19 Sodium bicarbonate 0.3-0.5 g·kg-1 *d^-120 BM 2-2.5 h prior to exercise; spread the dose over 30-60 min + fluid and carbohydrate rich meal46 Dietary nitrate 2 to 4 × 70 mL concentrated NO3 -)58 - rich beetroot (8.4 to 16.8 moll NO3 CHO, carbohydrates; BM, body mass. Divide the dose in 2; morning and evening59 At least 4 wk and no longer than 10 wk18 Acute protocol, 1 d; chronic protocol, 6 d47 All events, except the 500 m38 All long-track events, with a smaller effect for longer events20 15 d59 All, especially when performed in hypoxia Possible side effects Acute effect: an average 1.2 ± 0.3% increase in BM due to water retention24 Washout period After 5-7 d of 20g*d^-1 about 4 weeks63 Mild paraesthesia (irritation of the skin, prickly sensation)19,37,39,40 Gastrointestinal discomfort; 1-2% increase in BM15 6-15 weeks after 5-6 weeks 4.8 g*d^-1 β-alanine supplementation64 24 h for acute protocol; at least within 10 d for the chronic protocol47 Beeturia (red urine) and red stools, harmless. No harmful side effects reported.54 Unknown, at least within 10 d59 moxic and hypoxic environments. Athletes wanting to explore the possible ergogenic effects of these supplements should test the efficacy, under supervision of qualified personal, in training situations or minor competitions.
