In this sense, the present study aims to evaluate the effects of caffeine and sodium bicarbonate supplementation (conjugated and isolated) on the physical performance of athletes. Will be evaluated 50 individuals, of both sexes, men and women, aged between 18 and 40 years. Individuals will be stratified into subgroups according to sport and gender, being: 25 soccer or futsal players and 25 cyclists. This is a randomized, counterbalanced, crossover, double-blind, placebocontrolled clinical trial._”
