YEAH it's decr ph is the correct as acidosis will shift the 02-hb dissociation curve towards right and as it goes right o2 is extracted more easily ...

i read somewhere that one should think of the exercising muscle for conditions that would shift the curve to the right ie lead to offloading of oxygen.

increase temp from excercise
increase lactic acid > low ph
incr pco2
incr 23dpg.
