    amounts of either strong acid or base will not affect blood pH because of the buffer in blood. Human blood has a natural buffer that can withstand a certain amount of acidosis or alkalosis before the pH drops drastically. Researchers have discovered that long periods of physical activity can cause sudden drops in pH of blood (acidosis) but will gradually return to its original state (Wood et al. 1976)‚ which shows the human blood buffer at work. The procedure is the same as in my Experimental

    same result‚ that at rest the lactate produced and about half was oxidized. The only difference in this study it was shown that at 50-75% of the VO2 max the body can oxidize about 75-80% of the lactate. Messonnier et al. (2013) explained that the metabolic clearance rate is influenced by the intensity the body is working at. From light to moderate intensity‚ the body’s rate is high meaning the body can consume the amount of lactate that is being produced but when the body moves from moderate to high
