Sodium bicarbonate ingestion improves middle distance running performance by:
(A)elevating the pH and buffering capacity of the extracellular fluid allowing a faster efflux of hydrogen ions from muscle. (B)reducing the pH and buffering capacity of the extracellular fluid allowing a faster efflux of hydrogen ions from muscle. (C)elevating the pH and buffering capacity of the extracellular fluid allowing a faster influx of hydrogen ions into muscle. (D)elevating the pre-exercise muscle pH.
