The human muscle buffer value (beta) is most frequently determined by either fixed acid titration of a homogenate ["in vitro" beta (beta vit)] or measurement of the change in lactate concentration (delta [La]) relative to the change in muscle homogenate pH after high-intensity exercise ["in vitro" beta = - delta [La]/delta pH (beta viv)]. We sought to compare beta viv, determined after isometric and dynamic exercise to exhaustion (approximately 60 s), with beta vit. Resting (R) and postexercise (E) biopsy samples were taken from vastus lateralis muscles of 43 human volunteers. Freeze-dried muscle was homogenized (30 mg/ml) in NaF (0.01 M) for the measurement of muscle pH (R and E). beta vit was determined by HCl (0.01 M) titration of the homogenate over the pH range 7.1–6.5. Muscle lactate was measured by enzymatic assay. There was no significant difference between beta viv determined after isometric (n = 35 …
