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
(e) inhibiting muscle lactate production
