> Dr Robert Cade and his group at the Department of Medicine of the
> University of Florida in 1984 ran a well controlled study (double
> blind, placebo, crossover design). Ten highly trained distance runners
> consumed either 1 gram of sodium phosphate four times daily or a
> placebo for three days. They then ran them on a treadmill to
> exhaustion. During the phosphate loading trial, lactic acid levels
> were lower, 2,3 -DPG levels were higher, VO2 max increased by 6-12%,
> and subjects ran 3-9 minutes longer. (Cade R, et al Med Sci Sports
> Exer 1984;16:263-268).

> Other research findings from the Florida physiology laboratory suggest

> measured by RPE (Rating of Perceived Exertion), of riding a bicycle
> for 3 hours at 75 to 80 percent VO2 max. Physiological measurements
> during this study suggested that increases in 2,3 DPG improved the
> release of oxygen from the Red Blood Cells and thus reduced the
> workload of the heart. The findings from the Florida laboratory
> strongly support an ergogenic effect of phosphate salts, and the lead

> Closer to home, Dr Ian Stewart and his colleagues at the Tasmanian
> Institute of Technology did a study of highly trained cyclists, giving
> them 3.6 grams of sodium phosphate a day or a placebo, for three days
> before a maximum effort on the ergometer bicycle. Results showed that
> phosphate loading reduced lactic acid accumulation, increased 2,3 -
> DPG production during exercise, increased VO2 max by 11%, and
> increased time to exhaustion by 20% (Stewart I, McNaughton L Res Quart
> 1990;61:80-84).

> One of the most recent and best studies (KREIDER RB, et al Int J
> Sports Nutr 1992;2:20-47) which tested both anaerobic and endurance
> exercise gave trained cyclists 4 grams of sodium phosphate per day or
> a placebo, for 3 days prior to a maximal exercise test and a 40km time
> trial on the ergometer bicycle.

> During the anaerobic phosphate trials, maximal power output increased
> by 17%. As Dr Michael Colgin points out in his excellent book OPTIMUM
> SPORTS NUTRITION, that’s the equivalent to adding 51 lbs to a 300 lb
> maximum bench press! During the aerobic phosphate trials, time for the
> 40km ride was reduced by 3.5 minutes. That’s big. Despite some
> contrasting findings in other studies, there is no doubt in my mind
> that phosphate works big time. I have personally confirmed similar
