Why the study?
Does sprint training compared to endurance training alter acid-base and electrolyte balance after exhausting exercise?
Population
12 subjects (6 endurance-trained [ET] and 6 sprint-trained [ST])
Comparison
Exhausting exercise on a treadmill at a speed… vs Endurance-trained vs. sprint-trained subjects
Design
Cross-sectional
Follow-up
9 minutes post-exercise

May indicate training-specific lactate tolerance; cross-sectional design leaves causal effects and practice change open.
Does sprint training compared to endurance training alter acid-base and electrolyte balance after exhausting exercise?
Sprint-trained athletes can tolerate higher blood lactate accumulation and lower pH during exhaustive exercise compared to endurance-trained athletes, without a difference in inherent buffer capacity.
Medbø et al. (1985) studied this question.
