introduction: purpose of this study was the effect of different music rhythms (fast rhythm and slow rhythm) in physiological responses of health young male after an exhaustive exercise session during primary minutes of recovery period. methods: seventeen healthy male (ages: 19.76 ± 0.97 yr, height: 176 ± 6.72 cm, weight: 68.5 ±7 5.95 kg), voluntarily performed bruce protocol until exhaustion wi...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of using combined glucose and fructose (GF) ingestion as a means to stimulate short-term (4 h) postexercise muscle glycogen synthesis compared to glucose only (G). METHODS On two separate occasions, six endurance-trained men performed an exhaustive glycogen-depleting exercise bout followed by a 4-h recovery period. Muscle biopsy samples were obtained from the ...

PURPOSE During high-intensity, exhaustive, constant-load exercise above 85% of maximal oxygen consumption, the diaphragm of healthy subjects can fatigue. Although a decrease in trans-diaphragmatic pressure is the most objective measure of diaphragmatic fatigue, possible extra-diaphragmatic muscle fatigue would not be detected by this method. The aim of the present study was to investigate the i...

Interstitial K+ ([K+]i) was measured in human skeletal muscle by microdialysis during exhaustive leg exercise, with (AL) and without (L) previous intense arm exercise. In addition, the reproducibility of the [K+]i determinations was examined. Possible microdialysis-induced rupture of the sarcolemma was assessed by measurement of carnosine in the dialysate, because carnosine is only expected to ...

Intravascular hemolysis is one of the most emphasized mechanisms for destruction of erythrocytes during and after physical activity. Exercise-induced oxidative stress has been proposed among the different factors for explaining exercise-induced hemolysis. The validity of oxidative stress following exhaustive cycling exercise on erythrocyte damage was investigated in sedentary and trained subjec...

Prolonged exhaustive submaximal exercise in humans induces marked metabolic changes, but little is known about effects on muscle Na+-K+-ATPase activity and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ regulation. We therefore investigated whether these processes were impaired during cycling exercise at 74.3 +/- 1.2% maximal O2 uptake (mean +/- SE) continued until fatigue in eight healthy subjects (maximal O2 up...
