Azevedo H, Azevedo V, Padilha D, Loturco I, Artioli G, Santos D, Azevedo P. Acute Response of Calcium Lactate Supplementation on the Athletic Performance of Soccer Players Under the Age of 15. Pediatr Exerc Sci 2024:1-7. [PMID: 39244191 DOI: 10.1123/pes.2023-0155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the acute response of lactate supplementation on athletic performance. METHOD Fifteen athletes under the age of 15 performed the following 4 sessions in a nonrandomized order: (1) familiarization, (2) control, (3) participants ingested calcium lactate (21.5 mg·kg-1 body mass), and (4) participants ingested a placebo (PLA, calcium carbonate, 21.5 mg·kg-1 body mass). The capsules were randomly offered and consumed 60 minutes before the physical tests. To assess the physical performance, the athletes executed squat jump, countermovement squat jump, 20-m linear sprint, change of direction test, and running anaerobic sprint test. RESULTS There were no significant differences between conditions for squat jump, countermovement jump, change of direction, and minimum power obtained in the running anaerobic sprint test (P > .05). Conversely, we observed a worse performance (P < .05) in the 20-m linear sprint test in the PLA and lactate conditions compared with control (P < .05). The lactate condition worsened performance during running anaerobic sprint test for peak power, mean power, and fatigue index compared with control and PLA (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Calcium lactate supplementation worsened repetitive running sprint ability and 20-m sprint performance. However, lactate supplementation does not affect jump or agility capacity. Therefore, calcium lactate supplementation seems to be an ineffective strategy to improve anaerobic and neuromuscular performance in soccer players 15 years of age or less.

PLoS One 2024; 19:e0307073. [PMID: 39172973 PMCID: PMC11341030 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0307073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES A dynamic warm-up (DWU) comprising exercise involving rhythmic muscle actions results in an acute increase in range of motion; however, recent findings suggest that a passive one using self-massage techniques might elicit a similar effect. This study's purpose was to compare the acute effect of leg cycling DWU on sit-and-reach score to the effect of a preparatory regimen of foam rolling (FR) or percussive massage (PM). DESIGN Single-blind, randomized, repeated-measures crossover study. METHODS Thirty-two asymptomatic, physically-active participants (male; n = 17) aged 20.9 ± 1.5 years performed sit-and-reach tests before, immediately following and 10-, 20- and 30-minutes following eight minutes of each of the "warm-ups." Analyses of variance at each time point across conditions and for the percent change elicited by each intervention were conducted to determine significant differences (p < 0.05). RESULTS Repeated-measures ANOVA revealed a significant difference between mean percent difference of sit-and-reach score for FR (8.8 ± 0.5%) compared to DWU and PM (p = 0.046 and 0.048, respectively) while DWU (6.3 ± 0.8%) and PM (6.8 ± 0.5%) did not differ (p = 0.717). There were no differences between scores across interventions at any of the four time points. CONCLUSIONS A bout of FR or PM resulted in an acute increase in a sit-and-reach score during a test performed immediately post and at 10-, 20- and 30-minutes post that was similar in magnitude to that which was present following leg cycling. These passive "warm-ups" are appropriate alternate strategies that can be employed to improve performance on a sit-and-reach test.

Abstract
Beetroot juice (BRJ) supplementation increases nitric oxide bioavailability with hypoxia and acidosis, characteristics of high-intensity exercise. We investigated whether BRJ improved forearm oxygen delivery:demand matching in an intensity-dependent manner. Healthy men (21 ± 2.5 years) participated in a randomized crossover trial between October 2017 and May 2018 (Queen's University, Kingston, ON, Canada). Participants completed a forearm incremental exercise test to limit of tolerance (IET-LOT) 2.5 h post placebo (PL) versus BRJ (2 completed PL/BRJ vs. 9 completed BRJ/PL) within a 2-week period. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. There was a significant main effect of drink (PL < BRJ; P = 0.042, ηp2 = 0.385) and drink × intensity interaction for arteriovenous oxygen difference (PL < BRJ; P = 0.03; ηp2= 0.197; 20%-50% and 90% LOT). BRJ did not influence oxygen delivery (P = 0.893, ηp2 = 0.002), forearm blood flow (P = 0.589, ηp2 = 0.03) (forearm vascular conductance (P = 0.262, ηp2 = 0.124), mean arterial pressure (P = 0.254,ηp2 = 0.128)), oxygen consumption (P = 0.194, ηp2 = 0.179) or LOT (P = 0.432, d = 0.247). In healthy men, BRJ did not improve forearm oxygen delivery (vasodilatory or pressor response) during IET-LOT. Increased arteriovenous oxygen difference at submaximal intensities did not significantly influence oxygen consumption or performance across the entire range of forearm exercise intensities. This study adds to the growing body of evidence that BRJ does not influence small muscle mass blood flow in humans regardless of exercise intensity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skeletal muscles are postulated to be a potent regulator of systemic nitric oxide homeostasis. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of physical training on the heart and skeletal muscle nitric oxide bioavailability (judged on the basis of intramuscular nitrite and nitrate) in rats. METHODS AND RESULTS Rats were trained on a treadmill for 8 weeks, performing mainly endurance running sessions with some sprinting runs. Muscle nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate (NO3-) concentrations were measured using a high-performance liquid chromatography-based method, while amino acids, pyruvate, lactate, and reduced and oxidized glutathione were determined using a liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry technique. The content of muscle nitrite reductases (electron transport chain proteins, myoglobin, and xanthine oxidase) was assessed by western immunoblotting. We found that 8 weeks of endurance training decreased basal NO2- in the locomotory muscles and in the heart, without changes in the basal NO3-. In the slow-twitch oxidative soleus muscle, the decrease in NO2- was already present after the first week of training, and the content of nitrite reductases remained unchanged throughout the entire period of training, except for the electron transport chain protein content, which increased no sooner than after 8 weeks of training. CONCLUSIONS Muscle NO2- level, opposed to NO3-, decreases in the time course of training. This effect is rapid and already visible in the slow-oxidative soleus after the first week of training. The underlying mechanisms of training-induced muscle NO2- decrease may involve an increase in the oxidative stress, as well as metabolite changes related to an increased muscle anaerobic glycolytic activity contributing to (1) direct chemical reduction of NO2- or (2) activation of muscle nitrite reductases.

Abstract
Aerobic, or endurance, exercise is an energy requiring process supported primarily by energy from oxidative adenosine triphosphate synthesis. The consumption of oxygen and production of carbon dioxide in muscle cells are dynamically linked to oxygen uptake (V̇O2) and carbon dioxide output (V̇CO2) at the lung by integrated functions of cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and neurohumoral systems. Maximum oxygen uptake (V̇O2max) is the standard expression of aerobic capacity and a predictor of outcomes in diverse populations. While commonly limited in young fit individuals by the capacity to deliver oxygen to exercising muscle, (V̇O2max) may become limited by impairment within any of the multiple systems supporting cellular or atmospheric gas exchange. In the range of available power outputs, endurance exercise can be partitioned into different intensity domains representing distinct metabolic profiles and tolerances for sustained activity. Estimates of both V̇O2max and the lactate threshold, which marks the upper limit of moderate-intensity exercise, can be determined from measures of gas exchange from respired breath during whole-body exercise. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) includes measurement of V̇O2 and V̇CO2 along with heart rate and other variables reflecting cardiac and pulmonary responses to exercise. Clinical CPET is conducted for persons with known medical conditions to quantify impairment, contribute to prognostic assessments, and help discriminate among proximal causes of symptoms or limitations for an individual. CPET is also conducted in persons without known disease as part of the diagnostic evaluation of unexplained symptoms. Although CPET quantifies a limited sample of the complex functions and interactions underlying exercise performance, both its specific and global findings are uniquely valuable. Some specific findings can aid in individualized diagnosis and treatment decisions. At the same time, CPET provides a holistic summary of an individual's exercise function, including effects not only of the primary diagnosis, but also of secondary and coexisting conditions.

Abstract
Stringer et al. [J Appl Physiol (1985) 82: 908-912, 1997] developed a method from invasive data to estimate cardiac output during incremental exercise testing based on Fick's principle. The authors proposed that the arterio-mixed venous oxygen content difference increases linearly with percentage of maximal O2 consumption. We hypothesized an S-shaped pattern in the published data and calculated the inflection point of this curve and of the standard resting oxygen dissociation curve. Using a partial F test, we compared the linear model with a third-order polynomial model, which showed a better fit to the data [F(2,101) = 9.5, P < 0.001]. This finding was reproduced in a dataset published by Åstrand et al. in 1964 [F(2, 122) = 10.6, P < 0.001]. The inflection point of the curve coincided with the lactate acidosis threshold [first ventilatory threshold (VT1)] as measured by Stringer et al. (VT1 at 50% and inflection point at 56% [95% CI, 52.9 to 60.7] of maximal O2 consumption). The inflection point of the standard resting oxygen dissociation curve was calculated at a partial pressure of 21.5 mmHg and a saturation of 36%, matching the "critical capillary Po2" concept of Stringer et al. (21.2 mmHg). We conclude that the arterio-mixed venous oxygen content difference increases in an S-shaped manner with percentage of maximal oxygen consumption and that the inflection point of this curve may correspond to VT1 and that of the in vivo oxygen dissociation curve. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and improve the method.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In 1997, Stringer, Hansen, and Wasserman developed a method for estimating cardiac output during incremental exercise testing. They observed that the arterio-mixed venous oxygen content difference increases linearly with the percentage of maximal O2 consumption. This increase may be better modelled by an S-shaped function, the inflection point of which may be related to the first ventilatory threshold and the inflection point of the oxygen dissociation curve. This finding may help to improve the method.

Abstract
TOPIC IMPORTANCE Postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) is a long-term consequence of acute infection from COVID-19. Clinical overlap between PASC and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) has been observed, with shared symptoms including intractable fatigue, postexertional malaise, and orthostatic intolerance. The mechanistic underpinnings of such symptoms are poorly understood. REVIEW FINDINGS Early studies suggest deconditioning as the primary explanation for exertional intolerance in PASC. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing reveals perturbations related to systemic blood flow and ventilatory control associated with acute exercise intolerance in PASC, which are not typical of simple detraining. Hemodynamic and gas exchange derangements in PASC have substantial overlap with those observed with ME/CFS, suggestive of shared mechanisms. SUMMARY This review illustrates exercise pathophysiologic commonalities between PASC and ME/CFS that will help guide future diagnostics and treatment.

Abstract
Purpose: To develop an easy-to-implement prediction index of weaning failure for ICU patients. Materials and methods: We developed a prediction index modifying respiratory exchange ratio (RER), Mod-RER, a parameter measured during the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) based on respiratory quotient. The Mod-RER index is the ratio of partial pressure of CO2 in central venous blood over the difference of partial pressure of O2 in arterial and central venous blood (Mod-RER=PcvCO2/PaO2-PcvO2, where PcvCO2 = partial pressure of CO2 in central venous blood, PaO2 = partial pressure of O2 in arterial blood, and PcvO2 = partial pressure of O2 in central venous blood). We prospectively tested its predictive value, compared to other indices of weaning outcome, in an observational study of difficult-to-wean ICU patients. Results:Mod-RER index increased significantly only in failed trials and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for prediction of outcome based on Mod-RER index change had an area under the curve (AUC) 0.80 (p<0.001). Mod-RER change exhibited the highest sensitivity (84.6%) and specificity (78.1%) among the tested indices, with the optimal cut-off of 19.3%. Comparison of AUCs did not reach statistical significance (p=0.106). Conclusions: We conclude that Mod-RER index is an accurate, easy-to-use prediction tool of weaning failure, useful in decision making of timely extubation of ICU patients, especially in the demanding era of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND the purpose of this study was to examine acute physiological responses to and the performance effects of two sprint training protocols in normobaric hypoxic conditions. METHODS Healthy competitive female (n = 2) and male (n = 5) kayakers (19 ± 2.1 years) performed four sprint training sessions on a kayak ergometer over a period of two weeks. Participants performed five sets of 12 × 5 s sprints or 3 × 20 s sprints in both normobaric normoxic (NOR, FiO2 = 20.9%) or normobaric hypoxic (HYP, FiO2 = 13.6%) conditions. The peak power output (PPO), rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and heart rate (HR) of each participant were monitored continuously. Their blood lactate concentrations ([BLa+]), in addition to their blood gas (mixed-venous partial pressure (p) of carbon dioxide (pCO2), O2 (pO2), and oxygen saturations (sO2)) were collected before and after exercise. RESULTS A significantly greater RPE, HR, and [BLa+] response and a significant decrease in pCO2, pO2, and sO2 were observed in HYP conditions versus NOR ones, independent of the type of training session. The PPO of participants did not differ between sessions. Their RPE in HYP12 × 5 was greater compared to all other sessions. CONCLUSIONS The HYP conditions elicited significantly greater physiological strain compared to NOR conditions and this was similar in both training sessions. Our results suggest that either sprint training protocol in HYP conditions may induce more positive training adaptations compared to sprint training in NOR conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology can evaluate muscle metabolism and oxygenation. NIRS-based oximeters can measure skeletal muscle oxygen delivery and utilization during static and dynamic work non-invasively. Our goal was to assess the value and usability of NIRS technology in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) rehabilitation program. METHODS Forty patients with COPD participated in a 4-week inpatient rehabilitation program that included breathing exercises and personalized cycle/treadmill training adjusted to the functional capacity, physical activity and comorbidities of the patients. A NIRS muscle oxygen monitor was used to measure tissue oxygenation and hemoglobin levels. Total hemoglobin index, average muscle oxygenation, minimal and maximal muscle oxygenation were recorded before and after the rehabilitation program. RESULTS Rehabilitation resulted improvement in 6 min walking distance (6MWD:335.3 ± 110. vs. 398.3 ± 126.2 m; P < 0.01), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP: 57.7 ± 22.7 vs. 63.6 ± 18.0 cmH2O; P < 0.01), chest wall expansion (CWE: 2.84 ± 1.26 vs, 4.00 ± 1.76 cm; P < 0.01), breath hold time (BHT: 25.8 ± 10.6 vs. 29.2 ± 11.6 s; P < 0.01) and grip strength (GS: 24.9 ± 11.9 vs. 27.0 ± 11.4 kg; P < 0.01). Quality of life improvement was monitored by COPD Assessment Test (CAT: 17.00 ± 8.49 vs. 11.89 ± 7.3, P < 0.05). Total hemoglobin index (tHb: 12.8 ± 1.3% vs. 12.8 ± 1.4), average muscle oxygenation (SmO2: 67.5 ± 14.4% vs. 65.2 ± 20.4%) showed a tendency for improvement. Maximal muscle oxygenation decreased (SmO2 max: 98.0 ± 20.5% vs. 90.1 ± 14.3%; P < 0.01). Minimal muscle oxygenation increased (SmO2 min: 42.6 ± 12.6% vs. 54.8 ± 14.3%; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS NIRS results showed that muscle oxygenation and microcirculation can be described as a high-risk factor in COPD patients. The 4-week rehabilitation improves functional parameters, quality of life and tissue oxygenation levels in COPD patients.

Eccentric Cycling Training Improves Erythrocyte Antioxidant and Oxygen Releasing Capacity Associated with Enhanced Anaerobic Glycolysis and Intracellular Acidosis. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10020285. [PMID: 33668606 PMCID: PMC7918820 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10020285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2021] [Revised: 02/09/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The antioxidant capacity of erythrocytes protects individuals against the harmful effects of oxidative stress. Despite improved hemodynamic efficiency, the effect of eccentric cycling training (ECT) on erythrocyte antioxidative capacity remains unclear. This study investigates how ECT affects erythrocyte antioxidative capacity and metabolism in sedentary males. Thirty-six sedentary healthy males were randomly assigned to either concentric cycling training (CCT, n = 12) or ECT (n = 12) at 60% of the maximal workload for 30 min/day, 5 days/week for 6 weeks or to a control group (n = 12) that did not receive an exercise intervention. A graded exercise test (GXT) was performed before and after the intervention. Erythrocyte metabolic characteristics and O2 release capacity were determined by UPLC-MS and high-resolution respirometry, respectively. An acute GXT depleted Glutathione (GSH), accumulated Glutathione disulfide (GSSG), and elevated the GSSG/GSH ratio, whereas both CCT and ECT attenuated the extent of the elevated GSSG/GSH ratio caused by a GXT. Moreover, the two exercise regimens upregulated glycolysis and increased glucose consumption and lactate production, leading to intracellular acidosis and facilitation of O2 release from erythrocytes. Both CCT and ECT enhance antioxidative capacity against severe exercise-evoked circulatory oxidative stress. Moreover, the two exercise regimens activate erythrocyte glycolysis, resulting in lowered intracellular pH and enhanced O2 released from erythrocytes.

Abstract
A substantial part of COVID-19-patients suffers from multi-organ failure (MOF). We report on an 80-year old patient with pulmonary, renal, circulatory, and hepatic failure. We decided against the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to old age and a SOFA-score of 13. However, the patient was continuously treated with the extracorporeal multi-organ- “ADVanced Organ Support” (ADVOS) device (ADVITOS GmbH, Munich, Germany). During eight 24h-treatment-sessions blood flow (100–300 mL/min), dialysate flow (160–320 mL/min) and dialysate pH (7.6–9.0) were adapted to optimize arterial PaCO2 and pH. Effective CO2 removal and correction of acidosis could be demonstrated by mean arterial- versus post-dialyzer values of pCO2 (68.7 ± 13.8 vs. 26.9 ± 11.6 mmHg; p < 0.001). The CO2-elimination rate was 48 ± 23mL/min. The initial vasopressor requirement could be reduced in parallel to pH-normalization. Interruptions of ADVOS-treatment repeatedly resulted in reversible deteriorations of paCO2 and pH. After 95 h of continuous extracorporeal decarboxylating therapy the patient had markedly improved circulatory parameters compared to baseline. In the context of secondary pulmonary infection and progressive liver failure, the patient had a sudden cardiac arrest. In accordance with the presumed patient will, we decided against mechanical resuscitation. Irrespective of the outcome we conclude that extracorporeal CO2 removal and multiorgan-support were feasible in this COVID-19-patient. Combined and less invasive approaches such as ADVOS might be considered in old-age-COVID-19 patients with MOF.

Abstract
PURPOSE It is clinically important to elucidate the precise mechanism of exercise intolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The aim of this study was to examine whether there is a difference in the time course change of the oxygenation in the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle during submaximal incremental cycling exercise between patients with T2DM and age-matched healthy subjects. METHODS Nine elderly men with T2DM and 10 age-matched healthy men (CON) participated in this study. All participants performed an incremental cycling exercise.Total, deoxygenated and oxygenated hemoglobin/myoglobin in the VL muscle were assessed using near-infrared spectroscopy, and cardiorespiratory response was also evaluated during the exercise. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the time course changes of deoxygenated hemoglobin/myoglobin between groups ( p > 0.05). However, the oxygenated hemoglobin/myoglobin in T2DM was significantly higher than that in CON at an intensity above ventilatory threshold during the incremental cycling exercise ( p< 0.05). CONCLUSION This study suggests that patients with T2DM had early limitation of oxygen extraction and lower capacity of oxygenated myoglobin dissociation in the VL muscle. The fact that patients with T2DM showed different oxygen kinetics in a peripheral tissue from healthy subjects may partly explain the potential mechanisms of exercise intolerance in T2DM.

Abstract
Exercise is a major challenge for cardiovascular apparatus since it recruits chronotropic, inotropic, pre-load, and afterload reserves. Regular physical training induces several physiological adaptations leading to an increase in both cardiac volume and mass. It appears that several gender-related physiological and morphological differences exist in the cardiovascular adjustments and adaptations to dynamic exercise in humans. In this respect, gender may be important in determining these adjustments and adaptations to dynamic exercise due to genetic, endocrine, and body composition differences between sexes. Females seem to have a reduced vasoconstriction and a lower vascular resistance in comparison to males, especially after exercise. Significant differences exist also in the cardiovascular adaptations to physical training, with trained women showing smaller cardiac volume and wall thickness compared with male athletes. In this review, we summarize these differences.

Abstract
In order to measure cardiopulmonary performance for clinical and investigation purposes we need standardized tests which allow the comparison with standard values, between people, or individuals with themselves over time. The quest for the ideal exercise test has led to the development of several formats, the so called laboratory and field tests. Incremental exercise tests allow measurement of maximal exercise capacity and a host of submaximal variables of great interest. The physiological rationale of the tests and of the detection of interesting submaximal variables can be explained from the oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide output kinetic response to constant power exercise. When the muscles have to produce very high energy, the exercise is physiologically limited to relatively short duration. The minimum power at which an exercise can no longer be sustained for long periods of time is called critical power. Above critical power the time-power function shows a hyperbolic shape. This shape provides the rationale for understanding the properties, limitations and responsiveness to interventions of endurance tests such as constant power test on a cycle-ergometer or treadmill, endurance shuttle walk test and six-minute walk test.

Abstract
Background The lung, the kidney, and the liver are major regulators of acid-base balance. Acidosis due to the dysfunction of one or more organs can increase mortality, especially in critically ill patients. Supporting compensation by increasing ventilation or infusing bicarbonate is often ineffective. Therefore, direct removal of acid may represent a novel therapeutic approach. This can be achieved with the ADVanced Organ Support (ADVOS) system, an enhanced renal support therapy based on albumin dialysis. Here, we demonstrate proof of concept for this technology. Methods An ex vivo model of either hypercapnic (i.e., continuous CO2 supply) or lactic acidosis (i.e., lactic acid infusion) using porcine blood was subjected to hemodialysis with ADVOS. A variety of operational parameters including blood and dialysate flows, different dialysate pH settings, and acid and base concentrate compositions were tested. Comparisons with standard continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) using high bicarbonate substitution fluid and continuous veno-venous hemodialysis (CVVHD) were also performed. Results Sixty-one milliliters per minute (2.7 mmol/min) of CO2 was removed using a blood flow of 400 ml/min and a dialysate pH of 10 without altering blood pCO2 and HCO3− (36 mmHg and 20 mmol/l, respectively). Up to 142 ml/min (6.3 mmol/min) of CO2 was eliminated if elevated pCO2 (117 mmHg) and HCO3− (63 mmol/l) were allowed. During continuous lactic acid infusion, an acid load of up to 3 mmol/min was compensated. When acidosis was triggered, ADVOS multi normalized pH and bicarbonate levels within 1 h, while neither CVVH nor CVVHD could. The major determinants to correct blood pH were blood flow, dialysate composition, and initial acid-base status. Conclusions In conclusion, ADVOS was able to remove more than 50% of the amount of CO2 typically produced by an adult human. Blood pH was maintained stable within the physiological range through compensation of a metabolic acid load by albumin dialysate. These in vitro results will require confirmation in patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The clinical investigation of exertional intolerance generally focuses on cardiopulmonary diseases, while peripheral factors are often overlooked. We hypothesize that a subset of patients exists whose predominant exercise limitation is due to abnormal systemic oxygen extraction (SOE). METHODS We reviewed invasive cardiopulmonary exercise test (iCPET) results of 313 consecutive patients presenting with unexplained exertional intolerance. An exercise limit due to poor SOE was defined as peak exercise (Ca-vO2)/[Hb] ≤ 0.8 and VO2max < 80% predicted in the absence of a cardiac or pulmonary mechanical limit. Those with peak (Ca-vO2)/[Hb] > 0.8, VO2max ≥ 80%, and no cardiac or pulmonary limit were considered otherwise normal. The otherwise normal group was divided into hyperventilators (HV) and normals (NL). Hyperventilation was defined as peak PaCO2 < [1.5 × HCO3 + 6]. RESULTS Prevalence of impaired SOE as the sole cause of exertional intolerance was 12.5% (32/257). At peak exercise, poor SOE and HV had less acidemic arterial blood compared to NL (pHa = 7.39 ± 0.05 vs. 7.38 ± 0.05 vs. 7.32 ± 0.02, p < 0.001), which was explained by relative hypocapnia (PaCO2 = 29.9 ± 5.4 mmHg vs. 31.6 ± 5.4 vs. 37.5 ± 3.4, p < 0.001). For a subset of poor SOE, this relative alkalemia, also seen in mixed venous blood, was associated with a normal PvO2 nadir (28 ± 2 mmHg vs. 26 ± 4, p = 0.627) but increased SvO2 at peak exercise (44.1 ± 5.2% vs. 31.4 ± 7.0, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS We identified a cohort of patients whose exercise limitation is due only to systemic oxygen extraction, due to either an intrinsic abnormality of skeletal muscle mitochondrion, limb muscle microcirculatory dysregulation, or hyperventilation and left shift the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize the relationships between muscle oxygenation and performance during on- and off-water tests in highly trained sprint canoe-kayak athletes. METHODS A total of 30 athletes (19 kayakers and 11 canoeists) performed a maximal incremental test on a canoe or kayak ergometer for determination of VO2max and examination of the relation between peak power output (PPO) and physiological parameters. A subset of 21 athletes also performed a 200- and a 500- (for women) or 1000-m (for men) on-water time trial (TT). Near-infrared spectroscopy monitors were placed on the latissimus dorsi, biceps brachii, and vastus lateralis during all tests to assess changes in muscle O2 saturation (SmO2) and deoxyhemoglobin concentration ([HHb]). The minimum O2 oxygenation (SmO2min) and maximal O2 (Δ[HHb] extraction) were calculated for all subjects. RESULTS PPO was most strongly correlated with VO2max (R = .9), but there was also a large correlation between PPO and both SmO2min and Δ[HHb] in latissimus dorsi (R = -.5, R = .6) and vastus lateralis (R = -.6, R = .6, all P < .05). Multiple regression showed that 90% of the variance in 200-m performance was explained by both Δ[HHb] and SmO2min in the 3 muscles combined (P < .01) and 71% of the variance in 500-/1000-m performance was explained by Δ[HHb] in the 3 muscles (P < .01). This suggests that O2 extraction is a better predictor of performance than VO2max in sprint canoe-kayak. CONCLUSIONS These results highlight the importance of peripheral adaptations in both short and long events and stress the relevance of adding muscle oxygenation measurements during testing and racing in sprint canoe-kayak.

Abstract
Oxygen uptake ([Formula: see text]o2) measured at the mouth, which is equal to the cardiac output (CO) times the arterial-venous oxygen content difference [C(a-v)O2], increases more than 10- to 20-fold in normal subjects during exercise. To achieve this substantial increase in oxygen uptake [[Formula: see text]o2 = CO × C(a-v)O2] both CO and the arterial-venous difference must simultaneously increase. Although this occurs in normal subjects, patients with heart failure cannot achieve significant increases in cardiac output and must rely primarily on changes in the arterial-venous difference to increase [Formula: see text]o2 during exercise. Inadequate oxygen delivery to the tissue during exercise in heart failure results in tissue anaerobiosis, lactic acid accumulation, and reduction in exercise tolerance. H+ is an important regulatory and feedback mechanism to facilitate additional oxygen delivery to the tissue (Bohr effect) and further aerobic production of ATP when tissue anaerobic metabolism increases the production of lactate (anaerobic threshold). This H+ production in the muscle capillary promotes the continued unloading of oxygen (oxyhemoglobin desaturation) while maintaining the muscle capillary Po2 (Fick principle) at a sufficient level to facilitate aerobic metabolism and overcome the diffusion barriers from capillary to mitochondria ("critical capillary Po2," 15-20 mm Hg). This mechanism is especially important during exercise in heart failure where cardiac output increase is severely constrained. Several compensatory mechanisms facilitate peripheral oxygen delivery during exercise in both normal persons and patients with heart failure.

Abstract
This study examined whether the point of accelerated deoxygenation of active muscle occurs during the 20-m shuttle run test (20mSRT) and, if so, whether it is associated with exercise performance in the test. Twenty-nine male subjects performed the 20mSRT, and concentration changes in oxyhaemoglobin (ΔOxy-Hb) and deoxyhaemoglobin (ΔDeoxy-Hb) in the m. vastus lateralis were measured using a portable near-infrared spectroscopy device. The difference between the relative concentration changes in ΔOxy-Hb and ΔDeoxy-Hb (Δ[Oxy-Hb - Deoxy-Hb]) was regarded as the muscle oxygenation index. Group-averaged Δ[Oxy-Hb - Deoxy-Hb] showed progressive decrease during the test. However, among the individuals, we found an accelerated point of decrease in Δ[Oxy-Hb - Deoxy-Hb] in 20 subjects, which revealed that the laps at the accelerated point correlated with the total laps (r = 0·78). These results demonstrate that the accelerated deoxygenation of active muscle occurs during the 20mSRT, but not in all cases. Our findings also indicate that if the accelerated point of muscle deoxygenation occurs, the timing of its appearance is related to 20mSRT performance.

Abstract
We compared responses from postmenopausal women living a sedentary lifestyle ( n = 15; Mean age= 59; SD = 4.2) to a single bout of water- or land-based exercise with respect to ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), lactate concentration, and muscle oxygen saturation. Each participant was randomly assigned to a single water- or land-based 50-minute bout of combined aerobic and resistance exercise. Blood samples were collected to detect pre- and post-exercise lactate concentration. Total hemoglobin, deoxidized hemoglobin, and the percentage change in the total oxygen saturation index (TSI%) of the rectus femoris were detected by means of near-infrared spectroscopy. We found similar RPE at various stages of land- and water-based exercise, and a similar change in lactate concentration in these environments (in water: 4.35 ± 1.49 mol/L; on land: 3.62 ± 1.18 mol/L). However, the reduction in HHb response was less pronounced after water-based exercise, and TSI% increased on land but decreased in water, with the magnitude of this change much higher on land. For similar RPE and lactate concentration, the oxygen saturation in the exercising muscles decreased in water, suggesting higher oxygen consumption in water than on land.

Abstract
Marcello, RT, Greer, BK, and Greer, AE. Acute effects of plyometric and resistance training on running economy in trained runners. J Strength Cond Res 31(9): 2432-2437, 2017-Results regarding the acute effects of plyometrics and resistance training (PRT) on running economy (RE) are conflicting. Eight male collegiate distance runners (21 ± 1 years, 62.5 ± 7.8 ml·kg·min V[Combining Dot Above]O2 peak) completed V[Combining Dot Above]O2 peak and 1 repetition maximum (1RM) testing. Seven days later, subjects completed a 12 minutes RE test at 60 and 80% V[Combining Dot Above]O2 peak, followed by a PRT protocol or a rested condition of equal duration (CON). The PRT protocol consisted of 3 sets of 5 repetitions at 85% 1RM for barbell squats, Romanian deadlifts, and barbell lunges; the same volume was used for resisted lateral lunges, box jumps, and depth jumps. Subjects completed another RE test immediately after the treatments and 24 hours later. Subjects followed an identical protocol 6 days later with condition assignment reversed. Running economy was determined by both relative V[Combining Dot Above]O2 (ml·kg·min) and energy expenditure (EE) (kcal·min). There was a significant (p ≤ 0.05) between-trial increase in V[Combining Dot Above]O2 (37.1 ± 4.2 ml·kg·min PRT vs. 35.5 ± 3.9 ml·kg·min CON) and EE (11.4 ± 1.3 kcal·min PRT vs. 11.0 ± 1.4 kcal·min CON) immediately after PRT at 60% V[Combining Dot Above]O2 peak, but no significant changes were observed at 80% V[Combining Dot Above]O2 peak. Respiratory exchange ratio was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) reduced 24 hours after PRT (0.93 ± 0.0) as compared to the CON trial (0.96 ± 0.0) at 80% V[Combining Dot Above]O2 peak. Results indicate that high-intensity PRT may acutely impair RE in aerobically trained individuals at a moderate running intensity, but that the attenuation lasts less than 24 hours in duration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements of oxygenation reflect O2 delivery and utilization in exercising muscle and may improve detection of a critical exercise threshold. PURPOSE First, to detect an oxygenation breakpoint (Δ[O2HbMb-HHbMb]-BP) and compare this breakpoint to ventilatory thresholds during a maximal incremental test across sexes and training status. Second, to assess reproducibility of NIRS signals and exercise thresholds and investigate confounding effects of adipose tissue thickness on NIRS measurements. METHODS Forty subjects (10 trained male cyclists, 10 trained female cyclists, 11 endurance trained males and 9 recreationally trained males) performed maximal incremental cycling exercise to determine Δ[O2HbMb-HHbMb]-BP and ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2). Muscle haemoglobin and myoglobin O2 oxygenation ([HHbMb], [O2HbMb], SmO2) was determined in m. vastus lateralis. Δ[O2HbMb-HHbMb]-BP was determined by double linear regression. Trained cyclists performed the maximal incremental test twice to assess reproducibility. Adipose tissue thickness (ATT) was determined by skinfold measurements. RESULTS Δ[O2HbMb-HHbMb]-BP was not different from VT1, but only moderately related (r = 0.58-0.63, p<0.001). VT1 was different across sexes and training status, whereas Δ[O2HbMb-HHbMb]-BP differed only across sexes. Reproducibility was high for SmO2 (ICC = 0.69-0.97), Δ[O2HbMb-HHbMb]-BP (ICC = 0.80-0.88) and ventilatory thresholds (ICC = 0.96-0.99). SmO2 at peak exercise and at occlusion were strongly related to adipose tissue thickness (r2 = 0.81, p<0.001; r2 = 0.79, p<0.001). Moreover, ATT was related to asymmetric changes in Δ[HHbMb] and Δ[O2HbMb] during incremental exercise (r = -0.64, p<0.001) and during occlusion (r = -0.50, p<0.05). CONCLUSION Although the oxygenation threshold is reproducible and potentially a suitable exercise threshold, VT1 discriminates better across sexes and training status during maximal stepwise incremental exercise. Continuous-wave NIRS measurements are reproducible, but strongly affected by adipose tissue thickness.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of anaerobic threshold (AnT)-equivalent to the second turn point for lactate (LTP2)-estimation using the O2 pulse changes in highly trained endurance cyclists who do not show heart rate deflection point (HRDP) during incremental testing. Sixteen endurance cyclists (age, 24.8 ± 4.7 years) and fifteen active men (age, 24.8 ± 3.7 years) performed an incremental cycling test to exhaustion. Pulmonary oxygen uptake (V[Combining Dot Above]O2) and other hemodynamic variables, heart rate, and blood lactate concentration were measured continuously throughout the test. O2 pulse anaerobic threshold (O2 pulse-AnT) was defined as the second turn point in O2 pulse-workload curve. LTP2 was considered as gold standard assessment of AnT and was applied to confirm the validity of O2 pulse-AnT. Intraclass correlation coefficients and the Bland-Altman method were used to determine the relationship and agreement between the O2 corresponding to LTP2 and O2 pulse-AnT, respectively. The active men and 68.7% of the endurance cyclists showed HRDP, whereas all subjects showed O2 pulse-AnT during incremental testing. In both groups, the values for V[Combining Dot Above]O2 corresponding to LTP2 were not significantly different from the V[Combining Dot Above]O2 at O2 pulse-AnT. The V[Combining Dot Above]O2 at LTP2 and O2 pulse-AnT were highly correlated (endurance cyclists: R = 0.68; standard error of estimate [SEE] = 3.74 ml·kg·min and active men: R = 0.58; SEE = 2.91 ml·kg·min) and Bland-Altman plot revealed the limit of agreement of O2 at LTP2 and O2 pulse-AnT differences between 5.1 and 8.6 ml·kg·min (95% CI). In summary, results of this study showed that the second turn point in the O2 pulse-workload curve occurs around LTP2. Therefore, using O2 pulse-AnT is recommended for the noninvasive determination of AnT in highly trained endurance cyclists who do not show HRDP during incremental exercise.

Abstract
Heat acclimation (HA) attenuates physiological strain in hot conditions via phenotypic and cellular adaptation. The aim of this study was to determine whether HA reduced physiological strain, and heat shock protein (HSP) 72 and HSP90α mRNA responses in acute normobaric hypoxia. Sixteen male participants completed ten 90-min sessions of isothermic HA (40°C/40% relative humidity) or exercise training [control (CON); 20°C/40% relative humidity]. HA or CON were preceded (HYP1) and proceeded (HYP2) by a 30-min normobaric hypoxic exposure [inspired O2 fraction = 0.12; 10-min rest, 10-min cycling at 40% peak O2 uptake (V̇o2 peak), 10-min cycling at 65% V̇o2 peak]. HA induced greater rectal temperatures, sweat rate, and heart rates (HR) than CON during the training sessions. HA, but not CON, reduced resting rectal temperatures and resting HR and increased sweat rate and plasma volume. Hemoglobin mass did not change following HA nor CON. HSP72 and HSP90α mRNA increased in response to each HA session, but did not change with CON. HR during HYP2 was lower and O2 saturation higher at 65% V̇o2 peak following HA, but not CON. O2 uptake/HR was greater at rest and 65% V̇o2 peak in HYP2 following HA, but was unchanged after CON. At rest, the respiratory exchange ratio was reduced during HYP2 following HA, but not CON. The increase in HSP72 mRNA during HYP1 did not occur in HYP2 following HA. In CON, HSP72 mRNA expression was unchanged during HYP1 and HYP2. In HA and CON, increases in HSP90α mRNA during HYP1 were maintained in HYP2. HA reduces physiological strain, and the transcription of HSP72, but not HSP90α mRNA in acute normobaric hypoxia.

Abstract
The CO2 pulse (VCO2/heart rate), analogous to the O2 pulse (VO2/heart rate), was calculated during cardiopulmonary exercise testing and evaluated in normal and diseased states. Our aim was to define its application in its release in excess of that from VCO2/heart rate in the presence of impaired cardiovascular and lung function. In the current study, forty-five patients were divided into six physiological states: normal, exercise-induced myocardial ischemia, chronic heart failure, pulmonary vasculopathy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and interstitial lung disease. We subtracted the O2 pulse from the CO2 pulse to determine the exhaled CO2 that could be attributed to CO2 pulse of buffering of lactic acid. The difference between the CO2 pulse and O2 pulse (VCO2/heart rate-VO2/heart rate) includes CO2 generated from HCO3(-) buffering of lactic acid. The accumulated CO2 per body mass was found to be significantly correlated with the corresponding [HCO3(-)] decrease (R(2)=0.72; P<0.0001). In summary, the increase in CO2 pulse over the O2 pulse accounted for the anaerobically-generated excess-CO2 in each of the physiological states and correlated with the decreases in the arterial Bicarbonate concentration.

Abstract
It was previously (Monod H, Scherrer J. Ergonomics 8: 329-338, 1965) postulated that blood flow occlusion during exercise would reduce critical power (CP) to 0 Watts (W), while not altering the curvature constant (W'). We empirically assessed the influence of blood flow occlusion on CP, W', and muscle oxygenation characteristics. Ten healthy men (age: 24.8 ± 2.6 yr; height: 180 ± 5 cm; weight: 84.6 ± 10.1 kg) completed four constant-power handgrip exercise tests during both control blood flow (control) and blood flow occlusion (occlusion) for the determination of the power-duration relationship. Occlusion CP (-0.7 ± 0.4 W) was significantly (P < 0.001) lower than control CP (4.1 ± 0.7 W) and significantly (P < 0.001) lower than 0 W. Occlusion W' (808 ± 155 J) was significantly (P < 0.001) different from control W' (558 ± 129 J), and all 10 subjects demonstrated an increased occlusion W' with a mean increase of ∼49%. The present findings support the aerobic nature of CP. The findings also demonstrate that the amount of work that can be performed above CP is constant for a given condition, but can vary across conditions. Moreover, this amount of work that can be performed above CP does not appear to be the determinant of W', but rather a consequence of the depletion of intramuscular energy stores and/or the accumulation of fatigue-inducing metabolites, which limit exercise tolerance and determine W'.

Abstract
The mathematical model used to estimate critical power has been applied to heart rate (HR) measurements during cycle ergometry to derive a fatigue threshold called the critical heart rate (CHR). This study had 2 purposes: (a) determine if the CHR model for cycle ergometry could be applied to treadmill running and (b) examine the times to exhaustion (Tlim) and the VO2 responses during constant HR runs at the CHR. Thirteen runners (mean ± SD; age = 23 ± 3 years) performed an incremental treadmill test to exhaustion. On separate days, 4 constant velocity runs to exhaustion were performed. The total number of heart beats (HBlim) for each velocity was calculated as the product of the average 5-second HR and Tlim. The CHR was the slope coefficient of the HBlim vs. Tlim relationship. The Tlim and VO2 responses were recorded during a constant HR run at the CHR. Polynomial regression analyses were used to examine the patterns of responses for VO2 and velocity. The HBlim vs. Tlim relationship (r = 0.995-1.000) was described by the linear equation: HBlim = a + CHR (Tlim). The CHR (176 ± 7 b·min, 91 ± 3% HRpeak) was maintained for 47.84 ± 11.04 minutes. There was no change in HR but quadratic decreases in velocity and VO2. These findings indicated that the CHR model for cycle ergometry was applicable to treadmill running and represented a sustainable (30-60 minutes) intensity but cannot be used to demarcate exercise intensity domains.

Abstract
Metabolic pathways involved in lactate metabolism are important to understand the physiological response to exercise and the pathogenesis of prevalent diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Monocarboxylate transporters are being investigated as potential targets for diagnosis and therapy of these and other disorders. Glucose and alanine produce pyruvate which is reduced to lactate by lactate dehydrogenase in the cytoplasm without oxygen consumption. Lactate removal takes place via its oxidation to pyruvate by lactate dehydrogenase. Pyruvate may be either oxidized to carbon dioxide producing energy or transformed into glucose. Pyruvate oxidation requires oxygen supply and the cooperation of pyruvate dehydrogenase, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Enzymes of the gluconeogenesis pathway sequentially convert pyruvate into glucose. Congenital or acquired deficiency on gluconeogenesis or pyruvate oxidation, including tissue hypoxia, may induce lactate accumulation. Both obese individuals and patients with diabetes show elevated plasma lactate concentration compared to healthy subjects, but there is no conclusive evidence of hyperlactatemia causing insulin resistance. Available evidence suggests an association between defective mitochondrial oxidative capacity in the pancreatic β-cells and diminished insulin secretion that may trigger the development of diabetes in patients already affected with insulin resistance. Several mutations in the mitochondrial DNA are associated with diabetes mellitus, although the pathogenesis remains unsettled. Mitochondrial DNA mutations have been detected in a number of human cancers. d-lactate is a lactate enantiomer normally formed during glycolysis. Excess d-lactate is generated in diabetes, particularly during diabetic ketoacidosis. d-lactic acidosis is typically associated with small bowel resection.

Abstract
Muscular exercise requires transitions to and from metabolic rates often exceeding an order of magnitude above resting and places prodigious demands on the oxidative machinery and O2-transport pathway. The science of kinetics seeks to characterize the dynamic profiles of the respiratory, cardiovascular, and muscular systems and their integration to resolve the essential control mechanisms of muscle energetics and oxidative function: a goal not feasible using the steady-state response. Essential features of the O2 uptake (VO2) kinetics response are highly conserved across the animal kingdom. For a given metabolic demand, fast VO2 kinetics mandates a smaller O2 deficit, less substrate-level phosphorylation and high exercise tolerance. By the same token, slow VO2 kinetics incurs a high O2 deficit, presents a greater challenge to homeostasis and presages poor exercise tolerance. Compelling evidence supports that, in healthy individuals walking, running, or cycling upright, VO2 kinetics control resides within the exercising muscle(s) and is therefore not dependent upon, or limited by, upstream O2-transport systems. However, disease, aging, and other imposed constraints may redistribute VO2 kinetics control more proximally within the O2-transport system. Greater understanding of VO2 kinetics control and, in particular, its relation to the plasticity of the O2-transport/utilization system is considered important for improving the human condition, not just in athletic populations, but crucially for patients suffering from pathologically slowed VO2 kinetics as well as the burgeoning elderly population.

Abstract
The use of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to evaluate cardiac and respiratory function was pioneered as part of preoperative assessment in the mid 1990s. Surgical procedures have changed since then. The patient population may have aged; however, the physiology has remained the same. The use of an accurate physiological evaluation remains as germane today as it was then. Certainly no 'magic' is involved. The author recognizes that not everyone accepts the classical theories of the anaerobic threshold (AT) and that there is some discussion around lactate and exercise. The article looks at aerobic capacity as an important predictor of perioperative mortality and also looks at some aspects of CPET relative to surgical risk evaluation.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effect of carbon monoxide (CO) in the inspired air as anticipated during peak hours of traffic in polluted megalopolises on cerebral, respiratory and leg muscle oxygenation during a constant-power test (CPT). In addition, since O(2) breathing is used to hasten elimination of CO from the blood, we examined the effect of breathing O(2) following exposure to CO on cerebral and muscle oxygenation during a subsequent exercise test under CO conditions. METHODS Nine men participated in three trials: (i) 3-h air exposure followed by a control CPT, (ii) 1-h air and 2-h CO (18.9 ppm) exposure succeeded by a CPT under CO conditions (CPT(COA)), and (iii) 2-h CO and 1-h 100% normobaric O(2) exposure followed by a CPT under CO conditions (CPT(COB)). All exercise tests were performed at 85% of peak power output to exhaustion. Oxygenated (Δ[O(2)Hb]), deoxygenated (Δ[HHb]) and total (Δ[tHb]) haemoglobin in cerebral, intercostal and vastus lateralis muscles were monitored with near-infrared spectroscopy throughout the CPTs. RESULTS Performance time did not vary between trials. However, the vastus lateralis and intercostal Δ[O(2)Hb] and Δ[tHb] were lower in CPT(COA) than in CPT. During the CPT(COB), the intercostal Δ[O(2) Hb] and Δ[tHb] were higher than in the CPT(COA). There were no differences in cerebral oxygenation between the trials. CONCLUSION Inspiration of 18.9 ppm CO decreases oxygenation in the vastus lateralis and serratus anterior muscles, but does not affect performance. Breathing normobaric O(2) moderates the CO-induced reductions in muscle oxygenation, mainly in the intercostals, but does not affect endurance.

Abstract
Eukaryotic cells generally function in a reduced state, but an amount of reactive species is essential for several biochemical processes. The antioxidant network is the defensive mechanism that occurs when the concentration of reactive species exceeds a threshold. Polyphenolic compounds present in plant extracts are potent antioxidants in vitro, but they may promote oxidative stress when administered in animals and humans, especially when given as supplements in exercise, a modality usually adopted as an oxidant stimulus. This is mainly observed when antioxidant molecules are administered separately and not as part of a diet. Exercise is usually adopted as a physiological model for examining the effects of reactive species in human or animal physiology. The use of exercise as a model demonstrates that reactive species do not always have adverse effects, but are necessary in physiological processes that are beneficial for human health. This review summarizes what is known about antioxidant supplementation and demonstrates the need for a meticulous examination of the in vitro findings before applying them to in vivo models. The term "antioxidant" seems elusive, and it is more appropriate to characterize a compound as "antioxidant" if we know in which concentration it is used, when it is used, and under which conditions.

Abstract
To study the relationship between the local and systemic aerobic fitness parameters, and between the muscle oxygenation and aerobic performance, 16 female finswimmers were recruited and divided into high-level (HL) group and low-level group. Cardiorespiratory function, blood lactate concentration and near infrared spectroscopy muscle oxygenation in the vastus lateralis (VL) were monitored simultaneously during a maximal incremental exercise. We found that the break point (Bp) of the oxygenation index (OI) in the VL (BpVL) had significant correlations with lactate threshold (LT) and gas exchange threshold (GET), and the appearance sequence of the three thresholds was BpVL ≈ LT ≤ GET. When considering different levels, the [Formula: see text] at BpVL, LT and GET were higher in the HL group. During intensive exercise, there were significantly faster [Formula: see text] increase and evidently slower OI decrease in the HL group, suggesting that faster [Formula: see text] increase in the HL group slowed down the muscle deoxygenation and facilitated subjects to cycle to higher workloads. In conclusion, multi-modality approaches combining local and systemic physiological monitoring technologies might provide better explanations of the relationship between local and systemic aerobic fitness parameters, and might be a novel way to analyze the difference between groups of different levels.

Abstract
Some side-effects of excessive physical training are ascribed to reactive oxygen species production. In this work we investigated the effects of progressively imposed maximal physical effort (levels I to V), using progressive maximal exercise test, on peripheral blood lactate, NO (through NO2-), superoxide anion (O2-) and methemoglobin (MetHb) in a group of 19 elite soccer players. Blood lactate (mmol/L) was increased (4.55, level V vs. resting level, 1.95). The basal production of NO2- was in the direct relation with O2 consumption. Significant increase (p<0.05) in O2- values at effort level I (4.18) as compared to the resting value (4.01), and the significant increase (p<0.01 or p<0.05) in the MetHb (%) was found between II (18.79) and III (19.63) or between II and IV (19.24) effort levels, respectively. The regression lines of NO2- and O2- crossed at the level of the respiratory compensation point (RC), suggesting that RC could be of a crucial importance not only in the anaerobic and aerobic metabolism but in mechanisms of signal transductions as well. The results could be of the theoretical interest and also useful in designing an athlete training strategy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Exercise oxygen pulse (O₂ pulse), a surrogate for stroke volume and arteriovenous oxygen difference, has emerged as an important variable obtained during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that the O₂ pulse curve pattern response to a maximal cycling ramp protocol exhibits a stable linear pattern in subjects reevaluated under the same clinical conditions. METHODS We retrospectively studied 100 adults (80 males), mean age at baseline of 59 + 12 years, who performed two cardiopulmonary exercise testings (median interval was 15 months), for clinical and/or exercise prescription reasons. The relative O₂ pulse was calculated by dividing its absolute value by body weight. Subjects were classified into quintiles of relative O₂ pulse. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing results and the O₂ pulse curve pattern, expressed by its slope and intercept, were compared among quintiles of relative O₂ pulse at both cardiopulmonary exercise testings. RESULTS After excluding the first minute of CPX (rest-exercise transition), the relative O₂ pulse curve exhibited a linear increase, as demonstrated by high coefficients of determination (R² from 0.75 to 0.90; p < 0.05 for all quintiles). Even though maximum oxygen uptake and relative O₂ pulse were significantly higher in the second cardiopulmonary exercise testing for each quintile of relative O₂ pulse (p < 0.05 for all comparisons), no differences were found when slopes and intercepts were compared between the first and second cardiopulmonary exercise testings (p > 0.05 for all comparisons; except for intercept in the 5th quintile). CONCLUSION Excluding the rest-exercise transition, the relative O₂ pulse exhibited a stable linear increase throughout maximal exercise in adults that were retested under same clinical conditions.

Abstract
The effect of low-intensity resistance exercise with external limb compression (100 [EC100] and 160 [EC160] mm Hg) on limb blood flow and venous blood gas-metabolite response was investigated and compared with that of high-intensity resistance exercise (no external compression). Unilateral elbow flexion muscle contractions were performed at 20% (75 repetitions, 4 sets, 30-second rest intervals) and 70% of 1-repetition maximum (1-RM; 3 sets, each set was until failure, 3-minute rest intervals). Precontraction brachial arterial blood flow (Doppler ultrasound) was reduced with EC100 or EC160 (56% and 39% of baseline value, respectively) compared with no external compression (control). At 20% 1-RM, brachial arterial blood flow increased after contractions performed with EC160 (190%), but not with the others. Decreases in venous oxygen partial pressure (P(v)O(2)) and venous oxygen saturation (S(v)O(2)) were greater during EC100 and EC160 than control (mean [SE]: P(v)O(2), 28 [3] vs 26 [2] vs 33 [2] mm Hg; S(v)O(2), 41% [5%] vs 34% [4%] vs 52% [5%], respectively). Changes in venous pH (pH(v)), venous carbon dioxide partial pressure (P(v)CO(2)), and venous lactate concentration ([L(-)](v)) were greater with EC160 than EC100 and/or control (pH(v), 7.19 [0.01] vs 7.25 [0.01] vs 7.27 [0.02]; P(v)CO(2), 72 [3] vs 64 [2] vs 60 [3] mm Hg; [L(-)](v), 5.4 [0.6] vs 3.7 [0.4] vs 3.0 [0.4] mmol/L, respectively). Seventy percent 1-RM contractions resulted in greater changes in pH(v) (7.14 [0.02]), P(v)CO(2) (91 [5] mm Hg), and [L(-)](v) (7.0 [0.5] mmol/L) than EC100 and EC160, but P(v)O(2) (30 [4] mm Hg) and S(v)O(2) (40% [3%]) were similar. In conclusion, changes in pH(v), P(v)CO(2), and [L(-)](v), but not in P(v)O(2) and S(v)O(2), are sensitive to changes in relative, "internal" intensity of low-intensity muscle contractions caused by reduced blood flow (EC160) or high-intensity muscle contractions. Given the magnitude of the changes in pH(v), P(v)CO(2), and [L(-)](v), it appears plausible that they may be involved in stimulating the observed increase in muscle activation via group III and IV afferents.

Abstract
The advent of balanced solutions for i.v. fluid resuscitation and replacement is imminent and will affect any specialty involved in fluid management. Part of the background to their introduction has focused on the non-physiological nature of 'normal' saline solution and the developing science about the potential problems of hyperchloraemic acidosis. This review assesses the physiological significance of hyperchloraemic acidosis and of acidosis in general. It aims to differentiate the effects of the causes of acidosis from the physiological consequences of acidosis. It is intended to provide an assessment of the importance of hyperchloraemic acidosis and thereby the likely benefits of balanced solutions.
