Key Points

Beta-alanine supplementation did not improve performance metrics in trained futsal players, revealing possible limitations in endurance enhancements.
Key metrics like blood lactate concentration and ratings of perceived exertion showed no significant changes post-supplementation, with lactate remaining stable.
Observational analysis assessed physical performance and subjective exertion ratings after a two-week high-dose beta-alanine regimen, testing its efficacy for athletes.
Results suggest that high-dose beta-alanine might not provide the expected performance benefits for trained futsal players; further exploration needed.

Implication

Intermittent endurance and sprint performance were unchanged in trained futsal players after beta-alanine supplementation, indicating potential limits of this intervention.

Abstract
