Text: The NaHCO3 dose was effective in inducing preexercise alkalosis as indicated by changes in blood pH (PL = 7. 40 + / - 0. 02 vs NaHCO3 = 7. 46 + / - 0. 01, P < 0. 001), [bicarbonate] (PL = 21. 9 + / - 3. 0 vs NaHCO3 = 29. 0 + / - 3. 8 mM, P < 0. 05), and base excess (PL = -1. 9 + / - 2. 5 vs NaHCO3 = 5. 0 + / - 3. 0 mM, P < 0. 05).
