[Acid-base equilibrium in sportsmen during physical exercise]. / Kislotno-shchelochnoe ravnovesie krovi u sportsmenov pri fizicheskikh nagruzkakh.

Acid-base balance in venous blood of basketball players was studied under specific loadings of various intensity by means of the micro-Astrup device. It is established that under acyclic loadings (throwing the ball into the basket) the state of metabolic acidosis is developed in the sportsmen and the more intensive the work, the higher the degree of the state of metabolic acidosis. The efficiency of actions of the persons examined was in inverse dependence on the degree of metabolic disturbances, i.e. the least efficiency was marked under the most profound acidosis.
