Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the longitudinal relationship between the slopes of systemic and quadriceps muscle O2 dynamics in subjects without attenuation point in deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration at vastus lateralis (APdeoxy-Hb@VL) during high-intensity cycling. Seven young men without APdeoxy-Hb@VL performed ramp cycling exercise until exhaustion before and after 8 weeks, while continuing recreational physical activities throughout that period. Muscle O2 saturation (SmO2) and deoxy-Hb were monitored at the vastus lateralis (VL) and rectus femoris (RF) by near infrared spectroscopy oximetry during exercise. Cardiac output (CO) was also continuously assessed. During high-intensity exercise, at VL, a significantly steeper slope of deoxy-Hb was found after 8 weeks compared with before, while the slopes of deoxy-Hb at RF were not significantly changed. Though a decrease in the slope of CO after 8 weeks did not reach significance (p = 0.12), the change in the slope of CO was significantly related to the change in the slopes of deoxy-Hb at VL (rs = −0.89, p < 0.01) and RF (rs = −0.86, p < 0.05). Our data reinforces the idea that, in subjects without APdeoxy-Hb@VL, the slope of muscle deoxygenation at VL during high-intensity cycling exercise may partly be explained by systemic O2 supply, rather than O2 balance in other thigh muscles.
