Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We have recently reported improved exercise performance with untrained limbs in 10 men after 11 wk of either arm (N = 5) or leg (N = 5) endurance training. To examine the changes in cardiac function produced by short-term training, we used echocardiography to measure cardiac function at rest, and systolic time intervals (STIs) to measure cardiac function during trained and untrained limb exercise. We repeated all studies after autonomic blockade with atropine and propranolol in order to observe non-autonomic changes in cardiac function. Training had little effect on cardiac size or performance at rest, although with autonomic blockade, cardiac mass increased in the leg-training group and resting left ventricular ejection time (LVET) was prolonged when the two training groups were combined. During submaximal exercise with both trained and undrained limbs and at similar heart rates before and after training, LVET for the combined groups was increased with and without autonomic blockade. This increase in LVET is most consistent with an increased cardiac stroke volume. Short-term endurance training appears to result in improved exercise cardiac function that is in part independent of altered autonomic control or adaptations in trained skeletal muscle.
