Abstract/OtherAbstract:
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)
