Abstract
Metabolic alkalosis induced by sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO(3)) ingestion has been shown to enhance performance during brief high-intensity exercise. The mechanisms associated with this increase in performance may include increased muscle phosphocreatine (PCr) breakdown, muscle glycogen utilization, and plasma lactate (Lac(-)(pl)) accumulation. Together, these changes would imply a shift toward a greater contribution of anaerobic energy production, but this statement has been subject to debate. In the present study, subjects (n = 6) performed a progressive wrist flexion exercise to volitional fatigue (0.5 Hz, 14-21 min) in a control condition (Con) and after an oral dose of NaHCO(3) (Alk: 0.3 g/kg; 1.5 h before testing) to evaluate muscle metabolism over a complete range of exercise intensities. Phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to continuously monitor intracellular pH, [PCr], [P(i)], and [ATP] (brackets denote concentration). Blood samples drawn from a deep arm vein were analyzed with a blood gas-electrolyte analyzer to measure plasma pH, Pco(2), and [Lac(-)](pl), and plasma [HCO(3)(-)] was calculated from pH and Pco(2). NaHCO(3) ingestion resulted in an increased (P < 0.05) plasma pH and [HCO(3)(-)] throughout rest and exercise. Time to fatigue and peak power output were increased (P < 0.05) by approximately 12% in Alk. During exercise, a delayed (P < 0.05) onset of intracellular acidosis (1.17 +/- 0.26 vs. 1.28 +/- 0.22 W, Con vs. Alk) and a delayed (P < 0.05) onset of rapid increases in the [P(i)]-to-[PCr] ratio (1.21 +/- 0.30 vs. 1.30 +/- 0.30 W) were observed in Alk. No differences in total [H(+)], [P(i)], or [Lac(-)](pl) accumulation were detected. In conclusion, NaHCO(3) ingestion was shown to increase plasma pH at rest, which resulted in a delayed onset of intracellular acidification during incremental exercise. Conversely, NaHCO(3) was not associated with increased [Lac(-)](pl) accumulation or PCr breakdown.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
