Aim: To examine the effect of fibre type on potentiation and fatigue. Methods: Young men (n = 4 per group) with a predominance of type I [61.4 ± 6.9% (SD), group I (GI)] or type II [71.8 ± 9.2%, group II (GII)] fibres in vastus lateralis, performed a fatigue protocol of sixteen 5‐s maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVCs) of the right knee extensors. Maximal twitches and corresponding muscle action potentials (M‐waves) were evoked before the first MVC, during the 3‐s rest period after each MVC and at intervals during the 5‐min recovery period after the last MVC. Results: Group II [49.3 ± 2.6% (SE)] had a greater decrease in MVC force than GI (22.8 ± 6.2%) during the fatigue protocol. Group II (126.4 ± 13.6%) showed greater twitch force potentiation early in the fatigue protocol than GI (38.2 ± 2.3%), but greater depression at the end (33.7 ± 13.7% vs.17.4 ± 3.4%). Twitch time‐to‐peak torque (TPT) and half relaxation time (HRT) initially decreased but then increased as the fatigue protocol progressed; GII had a greater increase in HRT. During a 5‐min recovery period twitch force increased above the prefatigue level and remained so until the end of the recovery period; the pattern was similar in GI and GII. Twitch TPT and HRT remained elevated during recovery. M‐wave area increased throughout the fatigue protocol and the first part of recovery before returning to baseline values in GII, whereas there were no significant changes in GI. The interaction between potentiation and fatigue was amplified in GII early in the fatigue protocol with concurrently greater twitch and M‐wave potentiation, and greater MVC force decrease and HRT increase. Late in the protocol, GII had a greater decrease in twitch and MVC force combined with greater M‐wave potentiation. Conclusion: It is concluded that fibre type distribution influences potentiation and fatigue of the twitch, and potentiation of the M‐wave during fatiguing exercise. 相似文献

This study examined the effects of fatigue on the contractile properties of the twitch contraction evoked by the H-reflex and the maximal M-wave. Untrained subjects demonstrated more pronounced slowing of half relaxation time (HRT) in the H-reflex twitch than in the M-wave twitch and also more slowing of HRT in high force vs. low force contractions. Endurance-trained subjects, however, demonstrated a shortening of the H-reflex twitch. The twitch contractile properties following fatigue are dependent on force level and training status. 相似文献

Twitch potentiation in knee extensor (KE) muscles after a 7-s conditioning isometric maximal voluntary contraction (MVC trial),
submaximal (25% MVC) voluntary contraction (SVC trial) and submaximal tetanic contraction (25% MVC) induced by percutaneous
electrical stimulation at 100 Hz (PES trial) was compared in 12 men aged 19–25 years. Isometric twitch characteristics of
KE muscles were measured before conditioning contraction and following 10-min recovery by supramaximal electrical stimulation
of the femoral nerve. During MVC trial, twitch peak torque (Pt) potentiated (P < 0.05) immediately after the conditioning contraction with sharp decline during the first and third minute of recovery.
No significant potentiation of twitch Pt was observed in SVC trial. During PES trial, twitch Pt was potentiated (P < 0.05) within 3–10 min of recovery. The time-course of isometric twitch was not significantly altered by conditioning contractions.
It was concluded that twitch potentiation in the KE muscles differed markedly following the three conditioning contractions. 相似文献

The fatigue-related changes in soleus motoneuron pool reflex excitability and surface electromyography (EMG) parameters, and maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force of the plantarflexor (PF) muscles during repeatedly sustained low- (30% MVC) vs. high-intensity (70% MVC) isometric contractions were evaluated Twelve young men with mean (+/- SE) age of 22.4 +/- 0.3 years participated in two fatigue tasks on separate days with at least 1-week interval. The fatigue task consisted of three sustained isometric contractions of PF muscles at a target force level until exhaustion separated with 2-min pause between contractions. M-wave (muscle compound action potential) amplitude (M(max)), Hoffmann reflex maximal amplitude (H(max)) to M-wave amplitude ratio (H(max)/M(max)), and root mean square amplitude (RMS) and median frequency (MF) of EMG power spectrum were recorded from the soleus muscle. The M(max) remained constant immediately post-fatigue and during recovery for low- and high-intensity fatigue tasks, whereas H(max)/M(max) was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced only after high-intensity fatigue task. The increase in RMS and decrease in MF during isometric contractions, and reduction in MVC force immediately after the exercise was greater (p < 0.05) for low-intensity fatigue task. We conclude that low-intensity isometric contractions, repeatedly sustained to fatigue, resulted in a marked increase in the EMG amplitude and spectral compression without a significant post-fatigue reflex inhibition of soleus motoneuron pool. High-intensity contractions, however, resulted in post-fatigue reflex inhibition of soleus motoneuron pool and less pronounced EMG spectral compression during fatiguing contractions. A failure of neuromuscular transmission-propagation was not evident after repetitive fatiguing isometric contractions. 相似文献

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of voluntary muscular fatigue in one lower limb and determine whether a ‘cross-over’ of fatigue is evident in the contralateral limb. Twenty-eight subjects (13 males and 15 females) performed a series of voluntary and evoked isometric contractions of both the dominant (exercised) and non-dominant (non-exercised) leg extensor muscles, prior to and after a fatigue protocol consisting of a 100-s sustained maximal isometric contraction (MVC) performed by the dominant limb only. Force values and surface electromyography (EMG) from the vastus lateralis muscle were obtained allowing for the determination of twitch and compound action potential (M-wave) values. Maximal twitch tension and peak-to-peak amplitude were significantly decreased after the fatigue test in the dominant limb, as was maximal voluntary force (∼65 N reduction), EMG activity (∼0.1 mV decrease) and voluntary activation (∼17% decline). However, no significant changes were observed in the non-dominant limb with respect to twitch and M-wave properties nor in MVC force. The voluntary activation of the non-dominant limb decreased significantly by 8.7% after the fatigue test, which was performed only on the dominant limb. The results of the present study suggest that the decrease in force production in the exercised limb was primarily related to peripheral fatigue mechanisms, with central fatigue making a lesser contribution. Centrally mediated mechanisms appear to be the sole contributor to fatigue in the non-exercised limb suggesting an anticipatory fatigue response and a ‘cross-over’ of central fatigue between the exercised and non-exercised contralateral limb. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to characterize neuromuscular fatigue in knee extensor muscles after a marathon skiing race (mean +/- SD duration = 159.7 +/- 17.9 min). During the 2 days preceding the event and immediately after, maximal percutaneous electrical stimulations (single twitch, 0.5-s tetanus at 20 and 80 Hz) were applied to the femoral nerve of 11 trained skiers. Superimposed twitches were also delivered during maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) to determine maximal voluntary activation (% VA). EMG was recorded from the vastus lateralis muscle. MVC decreased with fatigue from 171.7 +/- 33.7 to 157.3 +/- 35.2 Nm (-8.4%; p < 0.005) while % VA did not change significantly. The RMS measured during MVC and peak-to-peak amplitude of the compound muscle action potential (PPA) from the vastus lateralis decreased with fatigue by about 30% (p < 0.01), but RMS.PPA-1 was similar before and after the ski marathon. Peak tetanus tension at 20 Hz and 80 Hz (P(0)20 and P(0)80, respectively) did not change significantly, but P(0)20.P(0)80-1 increased (p < 0.05) after the ski marathon. Data from electrically evoked single twitches showed greater peak mechanical response, faster rate of force development, and shorter contraction time in the fatigued state. From these results it can be concluded that a ski skating marathon (a) alters slightly but significantly maximal voluntary strength of the knee extensors without affecting central activation, and (b) induces both potentiation and fatigue. 相似文献

This study measured changes in maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force, percentage maximal activation, maximal surface EMG, M-wave amplitude and average motor unit firing rates during the initial 3 weeks of isometric resistance training of the quadriceps muscle. Ten men participated in a resistance training programme three times a week for 3 weeks and 10 men participated as a control group. In the training group, MVC increased by 35% (from 761 +/- 77 to 1031 +/- 78 N) by the end of the 3 weeks. There were no changes in mean motor unit firing rates during submaximal or maximal voluntary contractions of 50 (15.51 +/- 1.48 Hz), 75 (20.23 +/- 1.85 Hz) or 100% MVC (42.25 +/- 2.72 Hz) with isometric resistance training. There was also no change in maximal surface EMG relative to the M-wave amplitude. However, there was a small increase in maximal activation (from 95.7 +/- 1.83 to 98.44 +/- 0.66%) as measured by the twitch interpolation technique. There were no changes in any of the parameters measured in the control group. It is suggested that mechanisms other than increases in average motor unit firing rates contributed to the increase in maximal force output with resistance training. Such mechanisms may include a combination of increased motor unit recruitment, enhanced protein synthesis, and changes in motor unit synchronization and muscle activation patterns across the quadriceps synergy. 相似文献

Fatigue is the decrease in active force that happens after repeated muscle stimulation, and post tetanic twitch potentiation (PTP) is the increase in twitch force observed after repeated muscle stimulation. This study investigated the effects of length on the interaction between fatigue and PTP, as these two forms of force regulation are length-dependent and may coexist. A total number of 14 subjects were tested in 3 days, in which fatigue and PTP were induced in the knee extensor muscles in three different knee angles (30 degrees, 60 degrees and 90 degrees; full extension = 0 degree). PTP was evaluated in rested and fatigued muscles with twitch contractions elicited before and after 10 s maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), and fatigue was evaluated with nine 50 Hz electrically elicited contractions (5 s duration, 5 s interval between contractions). Fatigue was length-dependent, with force values that were (mean +/- SEM) 59 +/- 5, 56 +/- 3 and 38 +/- 1% of maximal force at 90 degrees, 60 degrees and 30 degrees, respectively. PTP was also length-dependent. Rested muscles showed PTP of 39 +/- 4, 47 +/- 2 and 68 +/- 5% at 90 degrees, 60 degrees and 30 degrees, respectively. Fatigued muscles showed PTP of 44 +/- 3, 55 +/- 6 and 68 +/- 5%, at 90 degrees, 60 degrees and 30 degrees, respectively. This study shows that fatigue and PTP may represent independent mechanisms, as they regulate force in opposite directions and are both enhanced in short muscle lengths. 相似文献

Summary The influence of elbow joint angle on elbow flexor isometric evoked twitch contractile properties was assessed in 15 young women (F), 18 young men (M) and 11 male bodybuilders (BB). Measurements were made at elbow joint angles of 1.31, 1.57, 1.83, 2.09, 2.36, 2.62 and 2.88 rad (3.14 rad =180° =full extension). The largest peak twitch torque values [mean (SE) N · m] in F [3.77 (0.20)], M [10.38 (0.68)] and BB [11.38 (1.05)] occurred at 2.88 rad. Peak torque was progressively smaller at smaller joint angles, but the decline from 2.88 to 1.31 rad was greater in M (68%) and BB (76%) than F (59%). Thus, the magnitude of intergroup differences in peak twitch torque (PT) was joint angle dependent. Twitch time to peak torque (TPT) was influenced in a complex way by joint angle in the three groups; BB had the lowest values at small joint angles but the highest values at the largest angles. Half-relaxation time (HRT) generally increased from the smallest to largest joint angles in a pattern that did not differ significantly among the three groups. Maximum rates of twitch torque development and relaxation showed the same pattern of results as PT; indicating that these time-related measures were more sensitive to joint angle effects on PT than on TPT or HRT. The results of this study indicate that careful consideration should be given to the selection of joint angles in the measurement of evoked twitch contractile properties for the purpose of making group comparisons or investigating the effects of interventions such as training. 相似文献

This study compared maximal voluntary isometric strength and electrically evoked twitch characteristics of the plantarflexor muscles among the groups of women of the 3rd (n=14), 4th (n=13), 5th (n=11), 6th (n=12) and 8th (n=13) decade. A significant decrease (P < 0.05-0.001) has been found in isometric maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force from the 5th decade and in twitch maximal force from the 6th decade. The 3rd decade group produced 72% greater MVC force and 43% greater twitch maximal force than the 8th decade group (P < 0.001). A prolongation (P < 0.01) in twitch contraction time was observed from the 5th decade. Twitch contraction time in the 3rd decade group was 16% shorter (P < 0.001) compared with the 8th decade group (P < 0.01). Twitch half-relaxation time did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) among the groups. A decrease (P < 0. 05-0.001) has been found in twitch maximal rate of force development from the 5th decade and in twitch maximal rate of relaxation from the 6th decade. The 3rd decade group produced 63% greater (P < 0. 001) twitch maximal rate of force development than the 8th decade group. It was concluded that in women a marked age-related reduction in maximal voluntary force-generating capacity of the plantarflexor muscles and speed of contraction of the electrically evoked twitch takes place after 40 years of age, while reduction in maximal force-generating capacity and speed of relaxation of the twitch occurs after 50 years of age. 相似文献

There have been several studies on the effect of short-term creatine (Cr) supplementation on exercise performance, but none have investigated both voluntary and stimulated muscle contractions in the same experiment. Fourteen moderately active young men (19-28 years) were randomly assigned, in a double blind manner, to either a creatine (Cr) or placebo (P) group. The subjects supplemented their regular diet 4 times a day for 5 days with either 5 g Cr + 5 g maltodextrin (Cr group), or 5 g maltodextrin (P group). Isometric maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), muscle activation, as assessed using the modified twitch interpolation technique, electrically stimulated contractile properties, electromyography (EMG), endurance time and recovery from fatigue were measured in the elbow flexors. The fatigue protocol involved both voluntary and stimulated contractions. Following supplementation there was a significant weight gain in the Cr group (1.0 kg), whereas the P group did not change. For each group, pre-supplementation measures were not significantly different from post-supplementation for MVC, twitch and tetanic tensions at rest, time to peak tension, half-relaxation time and contraction duration. Prior to Cr supplementation time to fatigue was 10 +/- 4 min (mean +/- S.E.M.) for both groups, and following supplementation there was a non-significant increase of 1 min in each group. MVC force, muscle activation, EMG, stimulated tensions and durations were similar for the Cr and P groups over the course of the fatigue protocol and did not change after supplementation. Furthermore, recovery of MVC, stimulated tensions and contractile speeds did not differ as a result of Cr supplementation. These results indicate that short-term Cr supplementation does not influence isometric elbow flexion force, muscle activation, stimulated contractile properties, or delay time to fatigue or improve recovery. 相似文献

Declining motor unit discharge rates and H-reflex amplitude have been observed in separate experiments during fatiguing submaximal contractions in humans. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate motor unit discharge rate, H-reflex amplitude, and twitch contractile properties concurrently during a fatiguing submaximal isometric contraction of the ankle plantarflexors. Eleven healthy subjects performed fatiguing contractions of low force (25% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)) or high force (42–66% MVC). Hoffmann (H)-reflexes, muscle compound action potentials (M-waves), twitch contractile properties, and motor unit discharges were recorded from the soleus muscle. In the low-force fatigue task, motor unit firing rate increased gradually over time, whereas the resting H-reflex was significantly depressed at 15% of endurance time and remained quasiconstant for the rest of the task. This suggests that the processes mediating the resting H-reflex depression are relatively independent of those modulating the motor unit firing rate during a low-force fatigue task. In the high-force fatigue task, a decline in the average motor unit discharge rate was accompanied by a decrease in the resting H-reflex amplitude and a prolongation of the twitch half-relaxation time (HRT) at the completion of the fatigue task. Overall, motor unit firing rate was modulated in parallel with changes in the twitch HRT, consistent with the muscle wisdom hypothesis. 相似文献

Isolated papillary muscles from guinea-pig right ventricles were used (temperature 33 degrees C, stimulation frequency 0.5 Hz). Isometric twitch and action potentials were recorded. Upon addition of 2,3-butane-dionemonoxime (BDM) (2 mM) the peak twitch force was reduced from 4.17 +/- 0.4 mN/mm2 to 1.68 +/- 0.3 mN/mm2 (n = 9, P less than 0.001). The time course of the isometric twitch was slightly altered. Time to peak tension (TPT) was reduced by 12.0 +/- 3% (n = 9, P less than 0.001) whereas time to half relaxation (THR) was left unaffected. The rate of rise of force was reduced by 35 +/- 3.2 mN/mm2s i.e. 46 +/- 3%. The action potential duration and amplitude was not significantly changed by the drug. The shape of the curve relating peak twitch force of an extra beat to the preceding test interval, i.e. mechanical restitution, was affected by 2 mM 2,3-butane-dionemonoxime. The curve reached its maximum faster after addition of the drug. Maximum postextrasystolic potentiation (force in response to the prepreceding test interval) was 3.2 +/- 0.4 mN/mm2 in 2 mM 2,3-butane-dionemonoxine and 7.6 +/- 0.7 mN/mm2 in control (n = 6). However the percentage potentiation was very similar in control (82%) and in presence of 2,3-butane-dionemonoxime (91%). Peak twitch force in relation to peak force of the preceding potentiated contraction during decay of postextrasystolic potentiation was analysed. There was a linear relation between the variables, the slope being 0.34 +/- 0.04 in control and 0.30 +/- 0.02 in 2,3-butane-dionemonoxime. This suggests that the drug is without an action on the fraction of calcium recirculating within the cell.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

This study was designed to compare alterations in neuromuscular function after two tasks of similar duration involving the control of (1) torque level fixed at 40% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) torque (torque task) and (2) EMG level when exerting 40% MVC torque on the knee extensor muscles. Ten healthy subjects volunteered to participate in two testing sessions separated by approximately 2 h. Contraction duration for the EMG task was fixed for each subject to the time to task failure of the torque task (104+/-20s). MVC, maximal voluntary activation level, muscle compound action potential (M-wave), peak twitch and potentiated peak doublet were assessed before and immediately after each task using electrical stimulation of the femoral nerve. Average EMG activity of quadriceps muscle increased (p<0.01) during the torque task from 27.7+/-5.4% to 46.2+/-19.3% maximal EMG, whereas torque decreased during the EMG task from 41.5+/-2.9% to 28.9+/-3.8% MVC torque. Alterations in MVC torque (p<0.01) and maximal voluntary activation level (p<0.05) were comparable at termination of the two tasks. Rate of perceived exertion was greater (p<0.05) at the end of the torque task compared to the EMG task. Despite the absence of change in the M-wave for either task, potentiated peak doublet was altered after the torque task (-18+/-14%, p<0.01), whereas there was no change after the EMG task (p>0.05). The absence of peripheral failure at the end of the EMG task could be attributed to (1) a lower intramuscular pressure allowing a lesser accumulation of metabolites and (2) a slower rate of PCr hydrolysis compared to the torque task. 相似文献

Summary Contractile and histochemical properties of the triceps surae were compared in 16 males and 4 females aged 20 to 49 years. Surface electrical stimulation was used to determine twitch, tetanic and fatigue parameters. From these tests, twitch tension (Pt), time to peak tension (TPT), half relaxation time 1/2 RT), tetanic tensions at 10, 20 and 50 Hz and an index of fatigue (FI) were calculated. A maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) was also performed. Muscle samples from the belly of the lateral gastrocnemius were obtained using the needle biopsy technique. The samples were treated histochemically for myosin ATPase and NADH-tetrazolium reductase in order to classify the fibres as either Type I, slow twitch (ST) or Type II, fast twitch (FT) and to determine fibre areas. Correlations were performed between the grouped male and female contractile and histochemical variables. The results demonstrated significant positive relationships between percentage of ST fibres (%ST) and TPT (r=0.49), and %ST and the ratio of tetanic forces at 10 Hz to 50 Hz (Po10/Po50) (r=0.55). No significant relationships were obtained for Pt, 1/2 RT, MVC or FI with any histochemical parameter. The results suggest that fibre type distribution determined using myosin ATPase is related to electrically stimulated isometric contractile speeds and not to voluntary force generation (MVC) or electrically induced fatigue. 相似文献

In previous gender comparisons of muscle performance, men and women rarely have been closely matched, absolute force has not been equalized, and rates of fatigue and early recovery have not been determined. We compared adductor pollicis muscle performance at a similar absolute force development in healthy men and women (both n=9) matched for adductor pollicis maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force (132 +/- 5 N for women and 136 +/- 4 N for men, mean +/- SE, P > 0.05). Subjects repeated static contractions at a target force of approximately 50% of MVC force of rested muscle (68 +/- 3 N or 51.9 +/- 1.0% MVC for women and 72 +/- 2 N or 53.0 +/- 2.0% MVC for men, P > 0.05) for 5 s followed by 5 s rest until exhaustion, i. e. inability to maintain the target force for 5 s. MVC force was measured following each minute of exercise, at exhaustion, and after each minute for 3 min of passive recovery. For women compared with men: MVC force fell less after 1 min of exercise (to 93 +/- 1% vs. 80 +/- 3% of MVC force of rested muscle, respectively, P < 0.05); MVC force (N min-1) fell approximately 2-fold slower (P < 0.05); and endurance time to exhaustion was nearly two times longer (14.7 +/- 1. 6 min vs. 7.9 +/- 0.7 min, P < 0.05). After declining to a similar level of MVC force of rested muscle at exhaustion (56 +/- 1% for women and 56 +/- 3% for men), MVC force rose faster in women than in men (to 71 +/- 2% vs. 65 +/- 3% of MVC force of rested muscle, respectively; P < 0.05) during the first minute of recovery. The findings are consistent with the hypothesis that slower adductor pollicis muscle fatigue in women is linked with differences between men and women both in impairment of force generating capacity, per se, and in rates of recovery between contractions. 相似文献

Daily creatine supplements (0.258 g kg(-1) ) were administered to adult male Wistar rats (n = 7) in the drinking water. Age matched rats (n = 6) acted as controls. After 5-6 days, contractile properties were examined in soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle strips in vitro at 30 degrees C. In soleus muscles, creatine supplements decreased the half-relaxation time of the isometric twitch from 53.6 +/- 4.3 ms in control muscles to 48.4 +/- 5.5 ms but had no effect on twitch or tetanic tension or on twitch contraction time. In EDL muscles twitch tension, tetanic tension, twitch contraction and half-relaxation times were all unaffected by creatine supplements. Creatine supplements increased the fatigue resistance of the soleus muscles but had no effect on that of the EDL muscles. After a 5 min low-frequency fatigue test, tension (expressed as a percentage of initial tension) was 56 +/- 3 % in control soleus muscles, whereas that in the creatine-supplemented muscles was 78 +/- 6 % (P < 0.01). In the EDL muscles, the corresponding values were 40 +/- 2 % and 41 +/- 9 %, respectively. The force potentiation which occurred in the EDL muscles during the initial 20-30 s of the fatigue test was 170 +/- 10 % of initial tension in the control muscles 24 s after the initial stimulus train but was reduced (P < 0.01) to 130 +/- 20 % in the creatine-supplemented muscles. In conclusion, soleus muscle endurance was increased by creatine supplements. EDL endurance was unaffected but force potentiation during repetitive stimulation was decreased.

Mechanics and energetics of contraction were studied in isolated frog semitendinosus muscles (n = 15) in deuterium oxide (D2O) at 5 degrees C. Twitch force and energy liberation (heat + work) in 99.8% D2O-Ringer at lo were 4 +/- 0.8 and 22 +/- 1%, respectively, of control values. Tetanus force was slowed in development, and developed tetanus force was reduced to 89 +/- 7% of control values. With repeated tetanic contractions, the rate of force development increased, and peak force increased above control values in some muscles. The twitch was potentiated 10-fold (10 +/- 2) after repeated tetanic contractions. Energy liberation increased but not in proportion to force. Ca2+ cycling energy liberation or activation heat, estimated from stretched muscles, was 60 +/- 3% of control values. With maximum posttetanic twitch potentiation, the activation heat increased by 25 +/- 3%. Peak twitch force and energy liberation occurred at longer muscle lengths than in normal Ringer. After correcting for small differences in force development at lo and 1.38 +/- 0.01 lo, it was possible to estimate the effect of length per se on energy liberation. Under these conditions, there was an 8 +/- 2% decrease in energy liberation at 1.38 lo. 相似文献

The effects of β-blockade on plasma [K+], muscle excitability and force during fatiguing exercise were examined. Nine healthy males (mean age 22.3±1.7 yr) performed
a 3-min fatigue protocol that consisted of a sustained submaximal contraction (30% of the maximal voluntary contraction, MVC)
of the right quadriceps muscle. Subjects performed the exercise after treatment with either placebo, β1-selective (metoprolol, 100 mg) or an equipotent dose of non-selective β1,2-blockade (propranolol, 80 mg, n=6; 100 mg, n=2; 120 mg, n=1) twice daily for 3 days before testing according to a randomized double–blind design. Brachial arterial and femoral venous
blood samples were drawn before, during, and for 15 min following the contraction, together with maximal stimulation of the
right femoral nerve to evoke a twitch and a compound muscle action potential (M-wave); the M-wave amplitude being used as
an index of sarcolemmal excitability. The exercise-induced rise in plasma [K+] did not differ between treatments, but K+ re-uptake during recovery was slower following propranolol. The recovery of the twitch was significantly related to the recovery
of plasma [K+] in all trials, but the evoked M-waves were unaffected by either the contraction or the drug treatment. Propranolol resulted
in a significantly (P<0.05) greater reduction (51.9±7.3%) in MVC following the 3-min contraction compared with metoprolol (40.7±3.6%) or placebo
(38.9±3.6%). These results suggest that while β1,2-blockade may significantly affect the recovery of muscle force and K+ homeostasis after fatiguing exercise (presumably through an inhibition of the Na+,K+-ATPase), it does not appear to affect surface membrane excitability.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of post-tetanic potentiation on low frequency fatigue in adult human quadriceps muscle. Sixteen subjects (10 male and six female) performed three 60 s sets of knee extension exercise in order to induce low frequency fatigue (reduction in torque output at 10 and 20 Hz). The potentiating stimulus (a 10 s maximal voluntary contraction) induced a 58% increase in twitch tension (Pt) during the pre-fatigue state. Immediately following the fatiguing exercise, torque (X +/- SE, Nm) at 10 and 20 Hz (submaximal transcutaneous stimulation, 50 microsecond pulses) decreased (P less than 0.05) from 54.8 +/- 5.8 and 94.9 +/- 9.6 to 40.3 +/- 6.1 and 77.0 +/- 11, respectively. Although potentiation at this time increased Pt from 40.9 +/- 4.0 to 54.8 +/- 3.7 (P less than 0.05), torque at 10 and 20 Hz was unaffected. At 60, 120 and 240 min post-contraction, torque at 10 and 20 Hz remained depressed. Following potentiation, which increased twitch tensions to between 64 and 75%, torque at 10 Hz was increased (P less than 0.05) at 60 min (36.3 +/- 4.1 vs. 50.7 +/- 6.2), 120 min (40.8 +/- 6.3 vs. 56.5 +/- 8.9) and 240 min (42.0 +/- 4.7 vs. 57.5 +/- 8.3) of recovery. Similar effects were also noted at 20 Hz. These findings indicate that post-tetanic potentiation can overcome the low frequency fatigue during the post-contraction period and restore torque to pre-exercise levels. 相似文献
