Sodium bicarbonate ingestion increased the blood pH level prior to exercise indicating metabolic alkalosis while post exercise, the blood pH decreased significantly indicating that metabolic acidosis had occurred.
In a nutshell, the theory behind soda loading is that by neutralising the acid (lactic) produced by muscle cells during anaerobic exercise, the pH level of the working muscle will be kept in an optimal range for peak performance longer.
