Physiologic response to endurance work as a function of prior exercise

Abstract

Five male subjects performed an endurance task (ET) following 20 min of prior exercise (PE) at work loads corresponding to approximately 30%, 45%, 60% and 75% of VO2 max. There was a 1-min rest interval between the PE and ET. The ET consisted of 10 min of walking at a speed and slope corresponding to 75% of VO2 max after which time the speed was increased by 10 m/min each minute until the subject could no longer continue. Although endurance performance was not significantly influenced by the PE-30 and PE-45, performance following PE-60 and PE-75 was significantly impaired, as was the peak VO2 attained at the end of the ET. Although O2 deficits at the beginning of the ET were reduced by the higher intensities of PE, the plasma lactate levels at the 8th min of the ET were not significantly lower under those conditions since those levels of PE led to some lactate accumulation during the PE itself. VO2 during the last 5 min of the constant load part of the ET was similar in all conditions but PE-75, during which it was higher. It is suggested that although PE might be useful for tasks in which the initial work loads are maximal or supramaximal with respect to VO2, it is of questionable value in endurance tasks that begin at a high ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
