A wide, editorial-style still life shot from a slightly elevated angle on a pale, warm-gray concrete surface lit by soft natural window light from the left. In the center foreground, a clear glass of cloudy water sits beside a small white ceramic bowl heaping with fine white baking soda powder, a wooden measuring spoon resting beside it with a light dusting of powder spilling across the surface in a graceful arc. Next to them, a minimalist digital kitchen scale in matte white shows a small portion of powder in a shallow dish. Slightly behind, an orange basketball is partially in frame, its pebbled texture catching the light, resting beside a pair of clean white and coral athletic sneakers with the laces loosely undone. A folded charcoal gray towel and a stainless steel stopwatch lie to the right, the stopwatch face crisp and legible. Three small, neatly arranged piles of white powder on a slate tile in the midground, in ascending sizes, hint at different doses without any text or labels. In the soft-focus background, the faint outline of an indoor basketball court with warm honey-colored hardwood floor and blurred lane lines stretches across the frame, glowing with golden-hour light. The color palette is restrained and modern: warm off-white, soft gray, burnt orange, and touches of sage green from a single sprig of mint or eucalyptus laid near the glass. Shallow depth of field, crisp textures on powder grains and the ball's surface, gentle shadows, subtle film-like grain. Clean negative space in the upper right for headline overlay. The mood is calm, sleek, and contemporary, like a premium health and sports science magazine cover, with a fresh, minimalist composition and no people, no text, and no futuristic elements.

Soda bikarbona + sprintovi: Doza koja je nadmašila placebo u svakom testu

BY DR. GYMBRO · 27. lis 2026.

Novi randomizirani pokus na košarkašima otkrio je da dodavanje natrijevog bikarbonata (sode bikarbone) uz četiri tjedna sprint‑intervalnog treninga nadmašuje placebo u skakanju, sprintu, agilnosti, Yo‑Yo udaljenosti i Wingate snazi. Veća doza od 0,45 g/kg bila je bolja od 0,30 g/kg u svakom mjerenju. To čini dodatak jeftinim i privlačnim za sportaše timskih sportova, ali uz mogućnost gastrointestinalnih smetnji. Studija je mala, kratka i provedena isključivo na muškarcima. Evo kako izračunati dozu, ublažiti gastrointestinalne probleme i kome je dodatak zapravo namijenjen.
