But we don’t know the influence of alkaline water ingestion on hepatic-renal function. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of pure water (P), sodium bicarbonate (S) and alkaline electrolyzed water (Alk) ingestion on muscular endurance performance, liver function and renal function. Methods: Twenty two male athletes were randomly divided into three groups: 1) P group (n=6, 0.5 liters of pure water), 2) S group (n=8, 0.3 g．kg-1 body mass in 0.5 liters of pure water), 3) Alk group (n=8, 0.5 liters of alk water, pH=8). Venous blood sample was collected at rest (T1), before (T2) and after (T3) exercise. Muscular endurance test was tested by 1-min bench jumps. ANCOVA with Scheffe post hoc analysis was performed for muscular endurance and hepatic-renal function. Results: 1) There were no significant differences in muscular endurance. 2) There were significant differences in albumin (p<.001) and bilirubin (p=.006) after alkaline water ingestion, and in bilirubin (p=.005) after exercise. 3) There were significant differences in BUN (p<.001) and uric acid (p=.028) after alkaline water ingestion, and in BUN (p=.002) and creatinine (p=.002) after exercise. Conclusion: 1) There is no effect on muscular endurance after alkaline water ingestion. 2) Albumin would be changed after pure water, sodium bicarbonate and alkaline electrolyzed water ingestion. 3) Renal function was no changed after alkaline water ingestion. 4) There was no changed acutely on alkaline water ingestion after exercise.
