This study was undertaken to determine the effects of increased substrate availability (glycogen + plasma fatty acids) by glucocorticoids on energy metabolism during exercise to exhaustion. Female rats received a single subcutaneous injection of cortisol acetate (CA) (100 mg.kg body wt-1) 21 h before treadmill running (30.8 m/min). At the start of exercise in the CA-treated rats, plasma fatty acids and liver glycogen were increased by 40%. Glycogen levels were also increased by CA treatment in slow-twitch soleus (61%), fast-twitch white vastus (38%), and fast-twitch red vastus lateralis (85%) muscles. Exercise time to exhaustion was increased by CA treatment (114 +/- 5 vs. 95 +/- 6 min, P less than 0.05). During the exercise, total glycogen depletion was greater in the CA-treated than in the control animals, whereas estimated relative rates of carbohydrate utilization (R = 0.90) were similar. However, while running the CA-treated group consumed 11% more O2 than the controls (P less than 0.05). These results show that a single injection of glucocorticoids is capable of improving endurance. Yet the increased O2 uptake during exercise may have minimized the impact of the initial increased availability of carbohydrates and fatty acids in prolonging exercise capacity. This decreased running economy by the CA-treated runners may be secondary to alterations in energy production or utilization. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the time course of changes, whilst suspending the hindlimb and physical exercise training, of myosin light chain (LC) isoform expression in rat soleus and vastus lateralis muscles. Two groups of six rats were suspended by their tails for 1 or 2 weeks, two other groups of ten rats each were subjected to exercise training on a treadmill for 9 weeks, one to an endurance training programme (1-h running at 20 m.min-1 5 days.week-1), and the other to a sprint programme (30-s bouts of running at 60 m.min-1 with rest periods of 5 min). At the end of these experimental procedures, soleus and vastus lateralis superficialis muscles were removed for myosin LC isoform determination by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Hindlimb suspension for 2 weeks significantly increased the proportion of fast myosin LC and decreased slow myosin LC expression in the soleus muscle. The pattern of myosin LC was unchanged in the vastus lateralis muscle. Sprint training or endurance training for 9 weeks increased the percentage of slow myosin LC in vastus lateralis muscle, whereas soleus muscle myosin LC was not modified. These data indicate that hindlimb suspension influences myosin LC expression in postural muscle, whereas physical training acts essentially on phasic muscle. There were no differences in myosin LC observed under the influence of sprint- or endurance-training programme. 相似文献

The respective roles of allosteric regulators and catecholamines in the control of muscle glycogen breakdown during exercise remain a matter of controversy. This study was designed to reassess the role of the sympathoadrenal system during prolonged exercise in rats. Animals were studied at rest or after treadmill exercise (28 m.min-1; 8% slope) to exhaustion in a control situation or following administration of a specific beta 2-adrenergic receptor antagonist (ICI 118,551, 1 mg.kg-1, i.v.). Running times to exhaustion were 54 and 36 min in control and treated rats, respectively. For the purpose of comparison, another group of control rats was studied after a 36-min exercise bout. The reduction in endurance in treated rats was associated with an impairment in glycogen utilization, as measured by muscle glycogen stores, in soleus muscle but not in superficial vastus lateralis or gastrocnemius lateralis muscles. Utilization of liver glycogen stores was similar in the two groups of animals, but plasma glucose (7 vs. 13 mM) and lactate (4 vs. 7 mM) levels were significantly lower in rats under beta-blockade than in control rats run for 36 min. Plasma free fatty acid and glycerol concentrations were not significantly different between groups. On the other hand, plasma epinephrine concentration was significantly higher in treated rats (13 vs. 5 mM), which might reflect a compensatory increase in adrenal activity. These results suggest that glycogen breakdown during prolonged exercise is under the control of the sympathoadrenal system in predominantly slow-twitch but not in predominantly fast-twitch muscles.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

To determine the effects of a variety of doses of cocaine on endurance capacity, rats were injected intraperitoneally with either 0.1, 0.5, 2.5, 12.5, or 20 mg/kg body wt 20 min before running to exhaustion at 26 m/min up a 10% grade. Animals given saline ran 116 +/- 9 (SE) min. At doses of 12.5 and 20 mg/kg, cocaine reduced endurance time significantly (34 and 74%, respectively). At rest the drug had no effect on liver or fast-twitch muscle glycogen but significantly reduced (20-40%) soleus glycogen at the two highest doses. However, at exhaustion, the quantity of glycogen depleted in the fast-twitch red and white vastus muscles was similar in all groups despite the reduced run times of the animals receiving a higher dose implying a greater rate of glycogenolysis due to cocaine. Blood lactate in the 20 mg/kg group (9.9 +/- 1.2 mM) at exhaustion was nearly twice that of the saline controls at exhaustion (5.1 +/- 0.6). Before exercise plasma norepinephrine (at doses of 2.5, 12.5 and 20 mg/kg) was higher than saline controls and remained higher (20 mg/kg groups) at exhaustion. We conclude that high doses of cocaine cause rapid muscle glycogen depletion and early fatigue. The mechanism by which cocaine causes these effects is not clear. 相似文献

The effect of endurance exercise on the capacity of crube homogenates (CH) to sequester Ca2+ was determined in the slow type I soleus, the fast type IIA deep region of the vastus lateralis (DVL), and the fast type IIB superficial region of the vastus lateralis (SVL). The Ca2+ uptake capacity was affected by exercise in a fiber type specific manner. The fast-twitch SVL showed a 35% decrease in the maximal rate of Ca2+ uptake (Vmax) and a significantly lower Km while the slow soleus and fast DVL were unaltered. The time course of Ca2+ uptake, and the peak amount of Ca2+ sequestered was not altered by exercise in any of the muscles studied. The homogenates from the exercise-trained soleus muscles exhibited an increased ability to retain Ca2+ and in this capacity became more like fast muscle. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to determine whether regular endurance running, of the type known to attenuate glucocorticoid-induced muscle atrophy, produces a reversal of the glucocorticoid-mediated suppression of myosin heavy chain (MHC) synthesis. Female rats were arbitrarily assigned to one of four groups. There were two sedentary groups that received either a vehicle (1% aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose) or cortisol acetate (100 mg/kg body wt) for 11 consecutive days and two exercise (treadmill running 29 m/min, 90 min/day, for 11 consecutive days) groups that received the activity simultaneously with either vehicle or steroid treatments. Protein synthesis measurements were performed by constant infusion of [3H]leucine. Fractional synthesis rates of MHC were determined from the leucyl-tRNA precursor pool, which was similar in all groups (range 2.85 +/- 0.32 to 3.51 +/- 0.43 dpm/pmol). Exercise prevented 30% of the plantaris muscle mass loss as the result of cortisol acetate treatment. MHC synthesis rates (%/day) in plantaris muscles of sedentary animals were reduced by glucocorticoid treatment to 65% (6.2/9.5) of the vehicle-treated group. Exercise did not alter this depression of MHC synthesis. The combination of exercise and glucocorticoid treatment reduced the calculated MHC breakdown rate (%/day) to 80% (-8.0/-10.1) of the rate resulting from hormone treatment alone and 60% (-8.0/-13.3) of the rate resulting from exercise alone. These results show that endurance exercise does not reverse the glucocorticoid inhibition of MHC synthesis in muscle but may act through reducing MHC breakdown. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to further document the role of locally released norepinephrine (NE) in the control of metabolic and endocrine responses to exercise in rats. Post-ganglionic blockade with bretylium (20 mg.kg-1, i.v.) reduced NE release from sympathetic nerve endings and triggered a compensatory increase in epinephrine (E) release from the adrenal medulla, as reflected by plasma NE and E concentrations at rest and exercise (E/NE ratio = 2.92 +/- 0.53 and 2.48 +/- 0.51 vs 0.62 +/- 0.15 and 1.48 +/- 0.18 in control rats; mean +/- SE). Following bretylium administration a reduction in running time to exhaustion (28 m.min-1, 8% slope: 33 +/- 2 min vs 74 +/- 10 min) was associated with 1) a faster decrease in blood glucose concentration (3.58 +/- 0.80 mM vs 8.09 +/- 0.38 mM in control rats exercised for 33 min); and 2) an increased glycogen store utilization in fast-twitch muscles (superficial vastus lateralis and gastrocnemius lateralis). Glycogen utilization was not modified in soleus muscle and in the liver. Taken together these results suggest that post-ganglionic blockade increased carbohydrate store and peripheral blood glucose utilization. This could reflect an impairment in fat mobilization and utilization which might be secondary to a reduction of NE release in the adipose tissue and/or in the endocrine pancreas. 相似文献

Fourteen competitive cyclists who possessed a similar maximum O2 consumption (VO2 max; range, 4.6-5.0 l/min) were compared regarding blood lactate responses, glycogen usage, and endurance during submaximal exercise. Seven subjects reached their blood lactate threshold (LT) during exercise of a relatively low intensity (group L) (i.e., 65.8 +/- 1.7% VO2 max), whereas exercise of a relatively high intensity was required to elicit LT in the other seven men (group H) (i.e., 81.5 +/- 1.8% VO2 max; P less than 0.001). Time to fatigue during exercise at 88% of VO2 max was more than twofold longer in group H compared with group L (60.8 +/- 3.1 vs. 29.1 +/- 5.0 min; P less than 0.001). Over 92% of the variance in performance was related to the % VO2 max at LT and muscle capillary density. The vastus lateralis muscle of group L was stressed more than that of group H during submaximal cycling (i.e., 79% VO2 max), as reflected by more than a twofold greater (P less than 0.001) rate of glycogen utilization and blood lactate concentration. The quality of the vastus lateralis in groups H and L was similar regarding mitochondrial enzyme activity, whereas group H possessed a greater percentage of type I muscle fibers (66.7 +/- 5.2 vs. 46.9 +/- 3.8; P less than 0.01). The differing metabolic responses to submaximal exercise observed between the two groups appeared to be specific to the leg extension phase of cycling, since the blood lactate responses of the two groups were comparable during uphill running. These data indicate that endurance can vary greatly among individuals with an equal VO2 max.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Female Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a ten week training program to determine the influence of intense interval running on the fiber type composition of selected hindlimb muscles; soleus (S), plantaris (P), deep vastus lateralis (DVL), and superficial vastus lateralis (SVL). The muscles of one hindlimb were used for histochemical ATPase analysis to determine the distribution of fiber types and those of the contralateral hindlimb were assayed biochemically for citrate synthase activity (an aerobic marker). Training induced a significant increase in citrate synthase activity in each muscle section. The largest absolute increase occurred in the DVL and the largest relative increase occurred in the SVL. The distribution of fiber types within the S (85% slow-twitch) and SVL (100% fast-twitch) remained unchanged with training. However, significant increases in the percentage of type I (slow-twitch) fibers in both the P (2-fold) and DVL (3-fold) were observed with concomitant decreases in the type II (fast-twitch) population. In addition, training induced significant changes in the fast-twitch subtype populations of the DVL (IIB----IIA). These data suggest exercise-induced fiber type transformations occurring both within the fast-twitch population and between fast-twitch and slow-twitch fibers in certain hindlimb muscles of the rat following a high intensity interval training program. 相似文献

The effect of fiber type and endurance exercise training on skeletal muscle beta-adrenoceptor properties were assessed using a direct radioligand binding technique. Six separate muscles, composed of a variety of different fiber types, were examined in treadmill trained and sedentary rats. In trained animals, sarcolemmal preparations from heart and slow twitch soleus muscle exhibited a significantly greater receptor concentration than membranes from white fast twitch glycolytic fibers of the vastus lateralis. No significant changes were observed between trained and sedentary rat muscle beta-adrenoceptor density (beta max, fmole/mg protein) or affinity (Kd, nM) within each muscle type, despite significantly increased myocardial/body weight ratios and skeletal muscle enzyme adaptations associated with the exercise program. These results suggest that muscle beta-adrenoceptor properties may be influenced in part by the motor nerve innervation to that muscle, and are further discussed with respect to a possible relationship between exercise intensity and receptor regulation. 相似文献

Two groups of male Wistar endurance- and sprint-acclimatized rats were used to study the time course of uridine uptake into skeletal muscle RNA following acute exercise. Endurance and sprint animals were killed at 0, 2, 18, 24, and 48 hr following 1 hr of either endurance (30 m X min-1) or sprint running (90 m X min-1). Red vastus (RV) and white vastus (WV) muscle samples were incubated for 30 min in a medium containing 1 microCi 5-[14C]uridine. Uridine uptake was determined in the myofibrillar-nuclear, mitochondrial, microsomal, and soluble fractions of skeletal muscle via liquid scintillation counting. A significant decrease in whole muscle uridine uptake into RNA was observed in RV muscles following endurance exercise as well as in WV of sprint-exercised rats. Sprint-exercised RV had significantly greater uridine uptake into RNA in the homogenate and myofibrillar-nuclear fraction 2-18 hr post exercise. Increased mitochondrial uridine incorporation into RNA was observed in endurance- and sprint-exercised muscles between 18 and 48 hr post exercise. A very large increment in microsomal uridine uptake was observed in sprint-exercised WV at 24 hr. These data suggest that while whole muscle RNA synthesis may decline immediately following acute exercise overload, increases are observed in specific muscle fractions. These changes appear to coincide with protein-specific adaptations to sprint and endurance exercise. 相似文献

Motoneuron loss is a severe medical problem that can result in loss of motor control and eventually death. We have previously demonstrated that partial motoneuron loss can result in dendritic atrophy and functional deficits in nearby surviving motoneurons, and that an androgen‐dependent effect of exercise following injury can be neuroprotective against this dendritic atrophy. In this study, we explored where the necessary site of androgen action is for exercise‐driven neuroprotective effects on induced dendritic atrophy. Motoneurons innervating the vastus medialis muscles of adult male rats were selectively killed by intramuscular injection of cholera toxin‐conjugated saporin. Simultaneously, some saporin‐injected animals were given implants of the androgen receptor antagonist hydroxyflutamide, either directly at the adjacent vastus lateralis musculature ipsilateral to the saporin‐injected vastus medialis or interscapularly as a systemic control. Following saporin injections, some animals were allowed free access to a running wheel attached to their home cages. Four weeks later, motoneurons innervating the same vastus lateralis muscle were labeled with cholera toxin‐conjugated horseradish peroxidase, and dendritic arbors were reconstructed in three dimensions. Dendritic arbor lengths of saporin‐injected animals allowed to exercise were significantly longer than those not allowed to exercise. Androgen receptor blockade locally at the vastus lateralis muscle prevented the protective effect of exercise. These findings indicate that exercise following neural injury exerts a protective effect on motoneuron dendrites, which acts via androgen receptor action at the target muscle. 相似文献

To establish a skeletal muscle profile for elite sprinters, we obtained muscle biopsy samples from the vastus lateralis,
gastrocnemius and soleus of African cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus). Muscle ultrastructure was characterized by the fiber type composition and mitochondrial volume density of each sample.
Maximum enzyme activity, myoglobin content and mixed fiber metabolite content were used to assess the major biochemical pathways.
The results demonstrate a preponderance of fast-twitch fibers in the locomotor muscles of cheetahs; 83% of the total number
of fibers examined in the vastus lateralis and nearly 61% of the gastrocnemius were comprised of fast-twitch fibers. The total
mitochondrial volume density of the limb muscles ranged from 2.0 to 3.9% for two wild cheetahs. Enzyme activities reflected
the sprinting capability of the cheetah. Maximum activities for pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase in the vastus lateralis
were 1519.00 ± 203.60 and 1929.25±482.35 μmol min−1 · g wet wt−1, respectively, and indicated a high capacity for glycolysis. This study demonstrates that the locomotor muscles of cheetahs
are poised for anaerobically based exercise. Fiber type composition, mitochondrial content and glycolytic enzyme capacities
in the locomotor muscles of these sprinting cats are at the extreme range of values for other sprinters bred or trained for
this activity including greyhounds, thoroughbred horses and elite human athletes.

Intramyocellular lipid content is increased after exercise in nonexercising human skeletal muscle. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) content has been reported to decrease after prolonged submaximal exercise in active muscle and, therefore, seems to form an important local substrate source. Because exercise leads to a substantial increase in plasma free fatty acid (FFA) availability with a concomitant increase in FFA uptake by muscle tissue, we aimed to investigate potential differences in the net changes in IMCL content between contracting and noncontracting skeletal muscle after prolonged endurance exercise. IMCL content was quantified by magnetic resonance spectroscopy in eight trained cyclists before and after a 3-h cycling protocol (55% maximal energy output) in the exercising vastus lateralis and the nonexercising biceps brachii muscle. Blood samples were taken before and after exercise to determine plasma FFA, glycerol, and triglyceride concentrations, and substrate oxidation was measured with indirect calorimetry. Prolonged endurance exercise resulted in a 20.4 +/- 2.8% (P < 0.001) decrease in IMCL content in the vastus lateralis muscle. In contrast, we observed a substantial (37.9 +/- 9.7%; P < 0.01) increase in IMCL content in the less active biceps brachii muscle. Plasma FFA and glycerol concentrations were substantially increased after exercise (from 85 +/- 6 to 1450 +/- 55 and 57 +/- 11 to 474 +/- 54 microM, respectively; P < 0.001), whereas plasma triglyceride concentrations were decreased (from 1498 +/- 39 to 703 +/- 7 microM; P < 0.001). IMCL is an important substrate source during prolonged moderate-intensity exercise and is substantially decreased in the active vastus lateralis muscle. However, prolonged endurance exercise with its concomitant increase in plasma FFA concentration results in a net increase in IMCL content in less active muscle. 相似文献

To test the hypothesis that pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) is differentially regulated in specific human muscles, regulation of PDH was examined in triceps, deltoid, and vastus lateralis at rest and during intense exercise. To elicit considerable glycogen use, subjects performed 30 min of exhaustive arm cycling on two occasions and leg cycling exercise on a third day. Muscle biopsies were obtained from deltoid or triceps on the arm exercise days and from vastus lateralis on the leg cycling day. Resting PDH protein content and phosphorylation on PDH-E1 alpha sites 1 and 2 were higher (P < or = 0.05) in vastus lateralis than in triceps and deltoid as was the activity of oxidative enzymes. Net muscle glycogen utilization was similar in vastus lateralis and triceps ( approximately 50%) but less in deltoid (likely reflecting less recruitment of deltoid), while muscle lactate accumulation was approximately 55% higher (P < or = 0.05) in triceps than vastus lateralis. Exercise induced (P < or = 0.05) dephosphorylation of both PDH-E1 alpha site 1 and site 2 in all three muscles, but it was more pronounced at PDH-E1 alpha site 1 in triceps than in vastus lateralis (P < or = 0.05). The increase in activity of the active form of PDH (PDHa) after 10 min of exercise was more marked in vastus lateralis ( approximately 246%) than in triceps ( approximately 160%), but when it was related to total PDH-E1 alpha protein content, no difference was evident. In conclusion, PDH protein content seems to be related to metabolic enzyme profile, rather than myosin heavy chain composition, and less PDH capacity in triceps is a likely contributing factor to higher lactate accumulation in triceps than in vastus lateralis. 相似文献

Tissue samples were obtained from vastus lateralis and deltoid muscles of physical education students (n = 12), Greco-Roman wrestlers (n = 8), flat-water kayakers (n = 9), middle- and long-distance runners (n = 9), and olympic weight and power lifters (n = 7). Histochemical stainings for myofibrillar adenosinetriphosphatase and NADH-tetrazolium reductase were applied to assess the relative distribution of fast-twitch and slow-twitch (ST) muscle fiber types and fiber size. The %ST was not different in the vastus (mean SD 48 +/- 14) and deltoid (56 +/- 13) muscles. The %ST was higher (P less than 0.001), however, in the deltoid compared with vastus muscle of kayakers. This pattern was reversed in runners (P less than 0.001). The %ST of the vastus was higher (P less than 0.001) in runners than in any of the other groups. The %ST of the deltoid muscle was higher in kayakers than in students, runners (P less than 0.001), and lifters (P less than 0.05). The mean fiber area and the area of ST fibers were greater (P less than 0.01) in the vastus than the deltoid muscle. Our data show a difference in fiber type distribution between the trained and nontrained muscles of endurance athletes. This pattern may reflect the adaptive response to long-term endurance training. 相似文献

Female rats were initially divided into a sedentary or an exercise group that was trained by treadmill running to a final work rate of 31 m/min, 100 min/day, for 13-18 wk. During the last 12 days of training each of these groups were further subdivided into groups that received daily subcutaneous injections of cortisol acetate (CA) (100 mg/kg body wt) or the vehicle (1% carboxymethyl cellulose). Exercise prevented approximately 40% of the gastrocnemius muscle weight loss due to CA treatment. Training did not influence glucocorticoid cytosol-receptor binding concentrations, using [3H]triamcinolone acetonide (TA) as the labeled glucocorticoid in any of the skeletal muscle types investigated. TA-receptor binding capacities were depleted by the multiple injections but were higher in the red fiber types of the CA-treated trained than those in the CA-treated sedentary animals. In a second series of experiments in which receptor depletion and repletion rates were studied using a single injection of cortisol, TA binding capacities 2 h after the cortisol injection were higher in slow-twitch red soleus muscles of trained as compared with sedentary rats (36.4 +/- 2.0 vs. 26.8 +/- 2.5 fmol/mg protein). Similar patterns of TA binding were also observed at 2 h between trained and sedentary animals in the fast-twitch red muscle types, whereas no training related differences were observed in white muscle types. Total and free serum cortisol concentrations also returned to base-line values faster in the trained animals following the single injection protocol.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The impact of adding heavy-resistance training to increase leg-muscle strength was studied in eight cycling- and running-trained subjects who were already at a steady-state level of performance. Strength training was performed 3 days/wk for 10 wk, whereas endurance training remained constant during this phase. After 10 wk, leg strength was increased by an average of 30%, but thigh girth and biopsied vastus lateralis muscle fiber areas (fast and slow twitch) and citrate synthase activities were unchanged. Maximal O2 uptake (VO2max) was also unchanged by heavy-resistance training during cycling (55 ml.kg-1.min-1) and treadmill running (60 ml.kg-1.min-1); however, short-term endurance (4-8 min) was increased by 11 and 13% (P less than 0.05) during cycling and running, respectively. Long-term cycling to exhaustion at 80% VO2max increased from 71 to 85 min (P less than 0.05) after the addition of strength training, whereas long-term running (10 km times) results were inconclusive. These data do not demonstrate any negative performance effects of adding heavy-resistance training to ongoing endurance-training regimens. They indicate that certain types of endurance performance, particularly those requiring fast-twitch fiber recruitment, can be improved by strength-training supplementation. 相似文献

Muscle activation and blood flow do not explain the muscle length-dependent variation in quadriceps isometric endurance. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We investigated the role of central activation in muscle length-dependent endurance. Central activation ratio (CAR) and rectified surface electromyogram (EMG) were studied during fatigue of isometric contractions of the knee extensors at 30 and 90 degrees knee angles (full extension = 0 degree). Subjects (n = 8) were tested on a custom-built ergometer. Maximal voluntary isometric knee extension with supramaximal superimposed burst stimulation (three 100-mus pulses; 300 Hz) was performed to assess CAR and maximal torque capacity (MTC). Surface EMG signals were obtained from vastus lateralis and rectus femoris muscles. At each angle, intermittent (15 s on 6 s off) isometric exercise at 50% MTC with superimposed stimulation was performed to exhaustion. During the fatigue task, a sphygmomanometer cuff around the upper thigh ensured full occlusion (400 mmHg) of the blood supply to the knee extensors. At least 2 days separated fatigue tests. MTC was not different between knee angles (30 degrees : 229.6 +/- 39.3 N.m vs. 90 degrees: 215.7 +/- 13.2 N.m). Endurance times, however, were significantly longer (P < 0.05) at 30 vs. 90 degrees (87.8 +/- 18.7 vs. 54.9 +/- 12.1 s, respectively) despite the CAR not differing between angles at torque failure (30 degrees: 0.95 +/- 0.05 vs. 90 degrees: 0.96 +/- 0.03) and full occlusion of blood supply to the knee extensors. Furthermore, rectified surface EMG values of the vastus lateralis (normalized to prefatigue maximum) were also similar at torque failure (30 degrees : 56.5 +/- 12.5% vs. 90 degrees : 58.3 +/- 15.2%), whereas rectus femoris EMG activity was lower at 30 degrees (44.3 +/- 12.4%) vs. 90 degrees (69.5 +/- 25.3%). We conclude that differences in endurance at different knee angles do not find their origin in differences in central activation and blood flow but may be a consequence of muscle length-related differences in metabolic cost. 相似文献
