3.3. Blood pH, Bicarbonate, and Base Excess Levels during Exercise
The pH at baseline was 7.407 ± 0.006 [CI: 7.395–7.419] in the ASP and 7.406 ± 0.004 [CI: 7.398–7.414] in the PLA trials, and these levels were immediately reduced after repeated-sprint exercise. The ASP trial showed a trend for higher blood pH than the PLA trial (
