Question

You go for a run and breathe heavily for an extended amount of time. How is this affecting your pH levels?

Answer 1

Answer:

It decreases pH

Explanation:

Alveolar hyperventilation leads to a decreased partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2). The decrease in bicarbonate is accompanied by the deviation of serum pH below 7.35.

It is called Respiratory Acidosis. It´s blood pH imbalances. Muscle fatigue is associated with a rapid increase in the production of metabolic acids. Tolerance to high intensity exercise may be limited by the body's ability to dampen the decrease in intracellular (muscle) and extracellular (blood) pH, that is, the intrinsic buffer system.

Answer 2

Answer:

You lose your pH levels because your heavy breathing is creating more CO2.
