This document outlines a proposed study to examine the effects of beta-alanine supplementation on the onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA) in moderately trained male cyclists. It includes an introduction describing previous research findings on beta-alanine and carnosine, expected outcomes of increased carnosine levels delaying muscle acidosis. The methodology section details a double-blind, placebo-controlled design testing OBLA before and after 28 days of supplementation, with blood lactate and other performance measures. References are provided on carnosine synthesis and previous related studies finding improved submaximal endurance with beta-alanine supplementation.
