Does Carbonation Affect Endurance in Sports?


Question:
I've heard many things about the effects of carbonated beverages on athletes, including that carbonation lowers your endurance. I was wondering if there was any scientific documentation supporting the fact that carbonation does in fact lower your endurance.

Answers:
Affects your breathing. With a load of gas in your gut you have less room for lungs to hold air. I hear that it goes beyond that and will decrease your breathing even if you have not recently consumed anything carbonated.
In competitive swimming, carbonation was outlawed by the coach.
Yes it does...its bloats your stomach...
