The purpose of this study was to measure the cardiac output using the CO2 rebreathing method during submaximal and maximal arm cranking exercise in six male paraplegic subjects with a high level of spinal cord injury (HP). They were compared with eight able bodied subjects (AB) who were not trained in arm exercise. Maximal O2 consumption (VO2max) was lower in HP (1.11.min, SD 0.1; 17.5 ml.min-1.kg-1, SD 4) than in AB (2.5 l.min-1, SD 0.6; 36.7 ml.min-1.kg, SD 10.7). Maximal cardiac output was similar in the groups (HP, 14 l.min-1, SD 2.6; AB, 16.8 l.min-1, SD 4). The same result was obtained for maximal heart rate (fc,max) (HP, 175 beats.min-1, SD 18; AB, 187 beats.min-1, SD 16) and the maximal stroke volume (HP, 82 ml, SD 13; AB, 91 ml, SD 27). The slopes of the relationship fc/VO2 were higher in HP than AB (P less than 0.025) but when expressed as a %VO2max there were no differences. The results suggest a major alteration of oxygen transport capacity to active muscle mass in paraplegics due to changes in vasomotor regulation below the level of the lesion.  相似文献

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the cardiovascular and metabolic effects of a 5 wk arm crank (AC) training program on submaximal wheelchair (WC) ergometry in able-bodied women. The 6 subjects in the training group (TG) and 4 in the control group (CG) performed a 10 min WC exercise prior to and following the training period at a power output (PO) that elicited 70% of the pre-training peak oxygen uptake (VO2). Steady state VO2, heart rate (HR), cardiac output (Qc) and stroke volume (Vs) were measured. Resting and post-exercise blood lactate concentrations (LA) were measured, the difference was recorded as net LA. The TG exercised on the AC 3 d.wk-1 at a PO that elicited 85% of each subject's recorded peak HR. Each session consisted of four 4 min exercise bouts preceded by a 2 min warm-up and interspersed with 2 min rest periods. After training, the TG had a significantly (p less than 0.05) lower HR, larger Vs and lower LA in response to the WC exercise. Qc and VO2 were not significantly altered. The results demonstrate that the AC exercise program used in this study produced a physiological training effect which was observed during submaximal WC exercise of an intensity frequently encountered during daily WC ambulation. It appears that short-term, moderate intensity AC training offers an adequate stimulus to reduce the stress imposed by wheelchair locomotion.  相似文献

In order to determine the effect of short-term training on central adaptations, gas exchange and cardiac function were measured during a prolonged submaximal exercise challenge prior to and following 10-12 consecutive days of exercise. In addition, vascular volumes and selected haematological properties were also examined. The subjects, healthy males between the ages of 19 and 30 years of age, cycled for 2 h per day at approximately 59% of pre-training peak oxygen consumption (VO2) i.e., maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Following the training, VO2max (l.min-1) increased (P less than 0.05) by 4.3% (3.94, 0.11 vs 4.11, 0.11; mean, SE) whereas maximal exercise ventilation (VE,max) and maximal heart rate (fc,max) were unchanged. During submaximal exercise, VO2 was unaltered by the training whereas carbon dioxide production (VE) and respiratory exchange ratio were all reduced (P less than 0.05). The altered activity pattern failed to elicit adaptations in either submaximal exercise cardiac output or arteriovenous O2 difference. fc was reduced (P less than 0.05). Plasma volume (PV) as measured by 125I human serum albumin increased by 365 ml or 11.8%, while red cell volume (RCV) as measured by 51chromium-labelled red blood cells (RBC) was unaltered. The increase in PV was accompanied by reductions (P less than 0.05) in haematocrit, haemoglobin concentration (g.100 ml-1), and RBCs (10(6) mm-3). Collectively these changes suggest only minimal adaptations in maximal oxygen transport during the early period of prolonged exercise training. However, as evidenced by the changes during submaximal exercise, both the ventilatory and the cardiodynamic response were altered.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

In six male subjects the sweating thresholds, heart rate (fc), as well as the metabolic responses to exercise of different intensities [40%, 60% and 80% maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)], were compared at ambient temperatures (Ta) of 5 degrees C (LT) and 24 degrees C (MT). Each period of exercise was preceded by a rest period at the same temperature. In LT experiments, the subjects rested until shivering occurred and in MT experiments the rest period was made to be of exactly equivalent length. Oxygen uptake (VO2) at the end of each rest period was higher in LT than MT (P less than 0.05). During 20-min exercise at 40% VO2max performed in the cold no sweating was recorded, while at higher exercise intensities sweating occurred at similar rectal temperatures (Tre) but at lower mean skin (Tsk) and mean body temperatures (Tb) in LT than MT experiments (P less than 0.001). The exercise induced VO2 increase was greater only at the end of the light (40% VO2max) exercise in the cold in comparison with MT (P less than 0.001). Both fc and blood lactate concentration [1a]b were lower at the end of LT than MT for moderate (60% VO2max) and heavy (80% VO2max) exercises. It was concluded that the sweating threshold during exercise in the cold environment had shifted towards lower Tb and Tsk. It was also found that subjects exposed to cold possessed a potentially greater ability to exercise at moderate and high intensities than those at 24 degrees C since the increases in Tre, fc and [1a]b were lower at the lower Ta.  相似文献

To examine the role of a reduction in plasma volume (PV) on the cardiovascular and thermoregulatory responses to submaximal exercise, ten untrained males (VO2 peak = 3.96 +/- 0.14 L x min(-1); mean +/- SE) performed 60 min of cycle exercise at -61% of VO2 peak while on a diuretic (DIU) and under control (CON) conditions. Participants consumed either Novotriamazide (100 mg triameterene + 50 mg hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic) or a placebo, in random order, for 4 days prior to the exercise. Diuretic resulted in a calculated 14.6% reduction (P < 0.05) in resting PV. Heart rate was higher (P < 0.05) at rest and throughout exercise for DIU compared with CON. No differences were observed for cardiac output (Qc) and stroke volume (SV) at rest for the two conditions, but during exercise both Qc and SV were lower (P < 0.05) with DIU. Exercise VO2 (L x min(-1)) for CON and DIU at 30 min (2.39 +/- 0.09 vs 2.43 +/- 0.08) and 60 min (2.56 +/- 0.08 vs 2.53 +/- 0.12) were similar between conditions. Whole body a-vO2 difference was significantly greater (P < 0.05) for DIU both at rest and during exercise as compared with CON. Rectal temperature (Tre) was significantly higher (P < 0.05) during DIU from 15 min to the end of exercise. Blood concentrations of norepinephrine were higher (P < 0.05) with DIU compared to CON at 15 min of exercise and beyond. For blood epinephrine, no differences were observed between DIU and CON. These results suggest that reductions in PV led to greater circulating concentrations of norepinephrine which likely resulted from increased cardiac and thermoregulatory stresses. In addition, reductions in PV do not appear to increase cardiovascular instability during prolonged dynamic exercise.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to compare metabolic and cardiopulmonary responses for submaximal and maximal exercise performed several days preceding (pre-test) and 45 min after (post-test) 21 miles of high intensity (70% VO2 max) treadmill running. Seven aerobically trained subjects' oxygen uptake, oxygen pulse, respiratory exchange ratio, heart rate, pulmonary ventilation, ventilatory equivalent of oxygen, and blood lactate concentration were determined for exercise during the pre- and post-test sessions. No differences were found for submaximal oxygen uptake, oxygen pulse, pulmonary ventilation and ventilatory equivalent of oxygen between the pre- and post-test values. Generally, submaximal heart rate responses were higher, and respiratory exchange ratio values were lower during the post-test. Reductions of maximal work time (12%), maximal oxygen uptake (6%) and maximal blood lactate concentration (47%) were found during the post-test. Thermal stress and glycogen depletion are possible mechanisms which may be responsible for these observed differences.  相似文献

To find out whether endurance training influences the kinetics of the increases in heart rate (fc) during exercise driven by the sympathetic nervous system, the changes in the rate of fc adjustment to step increments in exercise intensities from 100 to 150 W were followed in seven healthy, previously sedentary men, subjected to 10-week training. The training programme consisted of 30-min cycle exercise at 50%-70% of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) three times a week. Every week during the first 5 weeks of training, and then after the 10th week the subjects underwent the submaximal three-stage exercise test (50, 100 and 150 W) with continuous fc recording. At the completion of the training programme, the subjects' VO2max had increased significantly (39.2 ml.min-1.kg-1, SD 4.7 vs 46 ml.min-1.kg-1, SD 5.6) and the steady-state fc at rest and at all submaximal intensities were significantly reduced. The greatest decrease in steady-state fc was found at 150 W (146 beats.min-1, SD 10 vs 169 beats.min-1, SD 9) but the difference between the steady-state fc at 150 W and that at 100 W (delta fc) did not decrease significantly (26 beats.min-1, SD 7 vs 32 beats.min-1, SD 6). The time constant (tau) of the fc increase from the steady-state at 100 W to steady-state at 150 W increased during training from 99.4 s, SD 6.6 to 123.7 s, SD 22.7 (P less than 0.01) and the acceleration index (A = 0.63.delta fc.tau-1) decreased from 0.20 beats.min-1.s-1, SD 0.05 to 0.14 beats.min-1.s-1, SD 0.04 (P less than 0.02). The major part of the changes in tau and A occurred during the first 4 weeks of training. It was concluded that heart acceleration following incremental exercise intensities slowed down in the early phase of endurance training, most probably due to diminished sympathetic activation.  相似文献

The influence of aerobic capacity on the cardiovascular response to handgrip exercise, in relation to the muscle mass involved in the effort, was tested in 8 trained men (T) and 17 untrained men (U). The subjects performed handgrip exercises with the right-hand (RH), left-hand (LH) and both hands simultaneously (RLH) at an intensity of 25% of maximal voluntary contraction force. Maximal aerobic capacity was 4.3 l.min-1 in T and 3.21 l.min-1 in U (P less than 0.01). The endurance time for handgrip was longer in T than in U by 29% (P less than 0.05) for RH, 38% (P less than 0.001) for LH and 24% (P less than 0.001) for RLH. Heart rate (fc) was significantly lower in T than in U before handgrip exercise, and showed smaller increases (P less than 0.01) at the point of exhaustion: 89 vs 106 beats.min-1 for RH, 93 vs 100 beats.min-1 for LH and 92 vs 108 beats.min-1 for RLH. Stroke volume (SV) at rest was greater in T than in U and decreased significantly (P less than 0.05) during handgrip exercise in both groups of subjects. At the point of exhaustion SV was still greater in T than in U: 75 vs 57 ml for RH, 76 vs 54 ml for LH and 76 vs 56 ml for RLH. During the last seconds of handgrip exercise, the left ventricular ejection time was longer in T than in U. Increases in cardiac output (Qc) and systolic blood pressure did not differ substantially between T and U, nor between the handgrip exercise tests.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Exercise is now considered an important component of management in chronic heart failure (CHF), but little is known about central hemodynamic changes that occur during different exercise modalities in these patients. Seventeen patients (ejection fraction 25 +/- 2%) undertook brachial artery and right heart catheterization and oxygen consumption assessment at rest, during submaximal and peak cycling (Cyc), and during submaximal upper and lower limb resistance exercise. Cardiac output (CO) increased relative to baseline during peak Cyc (P < 0.05) but did not change during submaximal Cyc or upper or lower limb exercise. Heart rate (HR) was lowest during upper limb exercise and progressively increased during lower limb exercise, submaximal Cyc, and peak Cyc, with significant differences between each of these (P < 0.01). Conversely, stroke volume (SV) decreased during submaximal Cyc and lower limb exercise and was lower during peak and submaximal Cyc and lower limb exercise than during upper limb exercise (P < 0.05). CHF patients are dependent on increases in HR to increase CO during exercise when SV may decline. Resistance exercise, performed at appropriate intensity, induces a similar hemodynamic burden to aerobic exercise in patients with CHF.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine oxygen uptake (VO2) at various water flow rates and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) during swimming in a hypobaric hypoxic environment. Seven trained swimmers swam in normal [N; 751 mmHg (100.1 kPa)] and hypobaric hypoxic [H; 601 mmHg (80.27 kPa)] environments in a chamber where atmospheric pressure could be regulated. Water flow rate started at 0.80 m.s-1 and was increased by 0.05 m.s-1 every 2 min up to 1.00 m.s-1 and then by 0.05 m.s-1 every minute until exhaustion. At submaximal water flow rates, carbon dioxide production (VCO2), pulmonary ventilation (VE) and tidal volume (VT) were significantly greater in H than in N. There were no significant differences in the response of submaximal VO2, heart rate (fc) or respiratory frequency (fR) between N and H. Maximal VE, fR, VT, fc, blood lactate concentration and water flow rate were not significantly different between N and H. However, VO2max under H [3.65 (SD 0.11) l.min-1] was significantly lower by 12.0% (SD 3.4)% than that in N [4.15 (SD 0.18) l.min-1]. This decrease agrees well with previous investigations that have studied centrally limited exercise, such as running and cycling, under similar levels of hypoxia.  相似文献

Some recent studies of competitive athletes have shown exercise-induced hypoxemia to begin in submaximal exercise. We examined the role of ventilatory factors in the submaximal exercise gas exchange disturbance (GED) of healthy men involved in regular work-related exercise but not in competitive activities. From the 38 national mountain rescue workers evaluated (36 +/- 1 yr), 14 were classified as GED and were compared with 14 subjects matched for age, height, weight, and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max; 3.61 +/- 0.12 l/min) and showing a normal response (N). Mean arterial PO2 was already lower than N (P = 0.05) at 40% VO2 max and continued to fall until VO2 max (GED: 80.2 +/- 1.6 vs. N: 91.7 +/- 1.3 Torr). A parallel upward shift in the alveolar-arterial oxygen difference vs. %VO2 max relationship was observed in GED compared with N from the onset throughout the incremental protocol. At submaximal intensities, ideal alveolar PO2, tidal volume, respiratory frequency, and dead space-to-tidal volume ratio were identical between groups. As per the higher arterial PCO2 of GED at VO2 max, subjects with an exaggerated submaximal alveolar-arterial oxygen difference also showed a relative maximal hypoventilation. Results thus suggest the existence of a common denominator that contributes to the GED of submaximal exercise and affects the maximal ventilatory response.  相似文献

Stroke volume (SV) increases above the resting level during exercise and then declines at higher intensities of exercise in sedentary subjects. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an attenuation of the decline in SV at higher exercise intensities contributes to the increase in maximal cardiac output (Qmax) that occurs in response to endurance training. We studied six men and six women, 25 +/- 1 (SE) yr old, before and after 12 wk of endurance training (3 days/wk running for 40 min, 3 days/wk interval training). Cardiac output was measured at rest and during exercise at 50 and 100% of maximal O2 uptake (Vo2max) by the C2H2-rebreathing method. VO2max was increased by 19% (from 2.7 +/- 0.2 to 3.2 +/- 0.3 l/min, P less than 0.001) in response to the training program. Qmax was increased by 12% (from 18.1 +/- 1 to 20.2 +/- 1 l/min, P less than 0.01), SV at maximal exercise was increased by 16% (from 97 +/- 6 to 113 +/- 8 ml/beat, P less than 0.001) and maximal heart rate was decreased by 3% (from 185 +/- 2 to 180 +/- 2 beats/min, P less than 0.01) after training. The calculated arteriovenous O2 content difference at maximal exercise was increased by 7% (14.4 +/- 0.4 to 15.4 +/- 0.4 ml O2/100 ml blood) after training. Before training, SV at VO2max was 9% lower than during exercise at 50% VO2max (P less than 0.05). In contrast, after training, the decline in SV between 50 and 100% VO2max was only 2% (P = NS). Furthermore, SV was significantly higher (P less than 0.01) at 50% VO2max after training than it was before. Left ventricular hypertrophy was evident, as determined by two-dimensional echocardiography at the completion of training. The results indicate that in young healthy subjects the training-induced increase in Qmax is due in part to attenuation of the decrease in SV as exercise intensity is increased.  相似文献

Exercise-induced alterations in cardiac function during graded cycling with submaximal and maximal intensities were studied in 13 trained and 13 untrained young men. Stroke volume (SV) and stroke index (SI) at rest and during submaximal and maximal exercise, determined by impedance cardiography, were consistently greater in the trained than in the less fit group. Training-induced bradycardia was evident in the trained group at rest and during submaximal exercise. Even when SV and SI were compared at the same absolute heart rate and left ventricular ejection time, those for the trained group were markedly greater than those for the untrained. SV for the untrained group was relatively diminished above the work rate corresponding to the anaerobic threshold. The difference in SV during exercise may be attributed to inadequate filling due to the smaller stretch of myocardial fibers in diastole and/or lesser systolic emptying of the left ventricle due to the reduced myocardial contractility in systole of untrained individuals.  相似文献

The effects of submaximal and maximal exercise on cerebral perfusion were assessed using a portable, recumbent cycle ergometer in nine unacclimatized subjects ascending to 5,260 m. At 150 m, mean (SD) cerebral oxygenation (rSO2%) increased during submaximal exercise from 68.4 (SD 2.1) to 70.9 (SD 3.8) (P < 0.0001) and at maximal oxygen uptake (.VO2(max)) to 69.8 (SD 3.1) (P < 0.02). In contrast, at each of the high altitudes studied, rSO2 was reduced during submaximal exercise from 66.2 (SD 2.5) to 62.6 (SD 2.1) at 3,610 m (P < 0.0001), 63.0 (SD 2.1) to 58.9 (SD 2.1) at 4,750 m (P < 0.0001), and 62.4 (SD 3.6) to 61.2 (SD 3.9) at 5,260 m (P < 0.01), and at .VO2(max) to 61.2 (SD 3.3) at 3,610 m (P < 0.0001), to 59.4 (SD 2.6) at 4,750 m (P < 0.0001), and to 58.0 (SD 3.0) at 5,260 m (P < 0.0001). Cerebrovascular resistance tended to fall during submaximal exercise (P = not significant) and rise at .VO2(max), following the changes in arterial oxygen saturation and end-tidal CO(2). Cerebral oxygen delivery was maintained during submaximal exercise at 150 m with a nonsignificant fall at .VO2(max), but at high altitude peaked at 30% of .VO2(max) and then fell progressively at higher levels of exercise. The fall in rSO2 and oxygen delivery during exercise may limit exercise at altitude and is likely to contribute to the problems of acute mountain sickness and high-altitude cerebral edema.  相似文献

Cardiovascular response to cycle exercise during and after pregnancy   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Our purpose was to determine if pregnancy alters the cardiovascular response to exercise. Thirty-nine women [29 +/- 4 (SD) yr], performed submaximal and maximal exercise cycle ergometry during pregnancy (antepartum, AP, 26 +/- 3 wk of gestation) and postpartum (PP, 8 +/- 2 wk). Neither maximal O2 uptake (VO2max) nor maximal heart rate (HR) was different AP and PP (VO2 = 1.91 +/- 0.32 and 1.83 +/- 0.31 l/min; HR = 182 +/- 8 and 184 +/- 7 beats/min, P greater than 0.05 for both). Cardiac output (Q, acetylene rebreathing technique) averaged 2.2 to 2.8 l/min higher AP (P less than 0.01) at rest and at each exercise work load. Increases in both HR and stroke volume (SV) contributed to the elevated Q at the lower exercise work loads, whereas an increased SV was primarily responsible for the higher Q at higher levels. The slope of the Q vs. VO2 relationship was not different AP and PP (6.15 +/- 1.32 and 6.18 +/- 1.34 l/min Q/l/min VO2, P greater than 0.05). In contrast, the arteriovenous O2 difference (a-vO2 difference) was lower at each exercise work load AP, suggesting that the higher Q AP was distributed to nonexercising vascular beds. We conclude that Q is greater and a-vO2 difference is less at all levels of exercise in pregnant subjects than in the same women postpartum but that the coupling of the increase in Q to the increase in systemic O2 demand (VO2) is not different.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

We sought to determine whether common genetic variations at the beta2 (beta2-AR, Gln27Glu) and beta3 (beta3-AR, Trp64Arg) adrenergic receptor gene loci were associated with cardiovascular (CV) hemodynamics during maximal and submaximal exercise. CV hemodynamics were assessed in 62 healthy postmenopausal women (20 sedentary, 22 physically active, and 20 endurance athletes) during treadmill exercise at 40, 60, 80, and 100% maximal O2 uptake using acetylene rebreathing to quantify cardiac output. The beta2-AR genotype and habitual physical activity (PA) levels interacted to significantly associate with arteriovenous O2 difference (a-vDO2) during submaximal exercise (P = 0.05), with the highest submaximal exercise a-vDO2 in sedentary women homozygous for the beta2-AR Gln allele and no genotype-dependent differences in submaximal exercise a-vDO2 in physically active and athletic women. The beta2-AR genotype also was independently associated with a-vDO2 during submaximal (P = 0.004) and approximately 100% maximal O2 uptake exercise (P = 0.006), with a 1.2-2 ml/100 ml greater a-vDO2 in the Gln/Gln than in the Glu/Glu genotype women. The beta3-AR genotype, independently or interacting with habitual PA levels, was not significantly associated with any CV hemodynamic variables during submaximal or maximal exercise. Thus it appears that the beta2-AR genotype, both independently and interacting with habitual PA levels, is significantly associated with a-vDO2 during exercise in postmenopausal women, whereas the beta3-AR genotype does not appear to be associated with any maximal or submaximal exercise CV hemodynamic responses in postmenopausal women.  相似文献

Studies were performed at rest and during exercise of varied intensity on 52 boys of pre- and post-pubescent age. Each age group consisted of boys who were engaged in a strenuous prolonged hockey training program; this group was compared with a matched control group who did not participate in a regular training program. Any differences observed in the measured lung functions could be explained on the basis of physical size. Relationship of pulmonary capillary blood flow (Qc) and pulmonary diffusing capacity (DLco) to oxygen consumption were similar to those reported for adults and no difference between the trained and control groups was found in either the pre- or post-pubertal aged boys. Similarily, the trained pre-pubertal boys did not differ significantly from their matched control group in respect to the relationships of heart rate (HR) and stroke volume (SV) for any level of oxygen consumption. In contrast, the post-pubertal trained boys had significantly lower HR and higher SV (P less than 0.01) at each level of work than the control group. These differences between the trained and control post-pubertal boys are consistent with training effects observed in adults. The lack of differences between the trained and control pre-pubertal groups was surprising. Whether the differences in the post-pubertal groups due to a detraining effect in the post-pubertal control boys (as compared to the pre-pubertal control group) or to a continued high level of physical activity during and after the on-set of puberty in trained boys cannot be answered by this study. The findings suggest the importance of high intensity exercise programs during the growth period of adolescence if the efficiency of the oxygen delivery system, and possibly its ultimate dimensions, are to be enhanced.  相似文献

To evaluate the effect of different levels of arterial oxygen content on hemodynamic parameters during exercise nine subjects performed submaximal bicycle or treadmill exercise and maximal treadmill exercise under three different experimental conditions: 1) breathing room air (control); 2) breathing 50% oxygen (hyperoxia); 3) after rebreathing a carbon monoxide gas mixture (hypoxia). Maximal oxygen consumption (Vo2 max) was significantly higher in hyperoxia (4.99 1/min) and significantly lower in hypoxia (3.80 1/min) than in the control experiment (4.43 1/min). Physical performance changes in parallel with Vo2 max. Maximal cardiac output (Qmax) was similar in hyperoxia as in control but was significantly lower in hypoxia mainly due to a decreased stroke volume. A correlation was found between Vo2 max and transported oxygen, i.e., Cao2 times Amax, thus suggesting that central circulation is an important limiting factor for human maximal aerobic power. During submaximal work HR was decreased in hyperoxia and increased in hypoxia. Corresponding Q values were unchanged except for a reduction during high submaximal exercise in hyperoxia.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that changes in physiological responses during arm-cranking exercise using electrical stimulation of the leg muscles (ACE-ES) compared to arm-cranking exercise alone (ACE) in able-bodied subjects (ABS) are based on an increase in active muscle mass rather than the enhancing effect of the leg muscle pump. In ABS the sympathetic nervous system induced vasoconstriction and activity of the leg muscle pump are intact, therefore, a normal redistribution of blood takes place during exercise. Consequently, ES should have no additional effect on the redistribution of blood in these ABS during exercise and, thus, changes in physiological responses will be based on an increase in active muscle mass. A group of 11 ABS performed three maximal arm-cranking tests. In the first test peak power output (PO peak) was determined. The other tests were both submaximal and maximal ACE, once with ACE-ES and once with ACE. The PO peak was not significantly different between ACE-ES and ACE. Oxygen uptake (O2) increased significantly during ACE-ES compared to ACE. Cardiac output (), stroke volume (SV), heart rate and ventilation were not significantly different during ACE-ES compared to ACE. Respiratory exchange ratios were significantly lower during ACE-ES compared to ACE at 60% PO peak and at maximal exercise. In conclusion, ACE-ES caused significant increases in O2 with a lack of elevation in and SV during submaximal and maximal exercise in ABS. The results of this study suggest that changes in physiological responses during ACE-ES are based on an increase in the active muscle mass rather than stimulation of the leg muscle pump.

The purpose of this investigation was to compare the thermoregulatory, metabolic, and perceptual effects of lower body (LBI) and whole body (WBI) immersion precooling techniques during submaximal exercise. Eleven healthy men completed two 30-min cycling bouts at 60% of maximal O(2) uptake preceded by immersion to the suprailiac crest (LBI) or clavicle (WBI) in 20 degrees C water. WBI produced significantly lower rectal temperature (T(re)) during minutes 24-30 of immersion and lower T(re), mean skin temperature, and mean body temperature for the first 24, 14, and 16 min of exercise, respectively. Body heat storage rates differed significantly for LBI and WBI during immersion and exercise, although no net differences were observed between conditions. For WBI, metabolic heat production and heart rate were significantly higher during immersion but not during exercise. Thermal sensation was significantly lower (felt colder) and thermal discomfort was significantly higher (less comfortable) for WBI during immersion and exercise. In conclusion, WBI and LBI attenuated T(re) increases during submaximal exercise and produced similar net heat storage over the protocol. LBI minimized metabolic increases and negative perceptual effects associated with WBI.  相似文献
