Respiratory Influences on Acid-Base Status and Their Effects on O2 Transport during Prolonged Muscular Work

  • Chapter
Metabolic Adaptation to Prolonged Physical Exercise

Abstract

During exercise of short duration in healthy man, the increase in alveolar ventilation is precisely matched to the increased tissue CO2 production. Hence arterial is closely regulated near resting levels and the only change in pH is secondary to an uncompensated metabolic acidosis.
