Popis: This study examined whether changes in pH throughout the physiologic range would have a differential effect on central and peripheral factors associated with fatigue and force production during submaximal lower limb isometric exercise to task failure. Eight males completed three experimental trials [0.2 g kg−1 ammonia chloride (ACD); 0.3 g kg−1 calcium carbonate (PLA); or 0.3 g kg−1 sodium bicarbonate (ALK)], each consisting of submaximal calf contractions at 55 % of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) to task failure. Every minute of the task subjects performed an MVC, coupled with stimulation of the tibial nerve during and immediately post MVC. Time to task failure was not different between trials (ACD 531 ± 166 s, PLA 592 ± 163 s, ALK 596 ± 150 s; p = 0.31). MVC force in all trials declined 29 % from the start of exercise to the fifth minute (mean decline of 371 ± 26 N; p
