Effect of reduced training volume on cardiac function, VO2 max, and running performance

This study examined the physiological effects of reducing training mileage in a veteran long distance runner while increasing exercise intensity. Variables measured included stroke volume, cardiac output, maximum oxygen uptake, ventilation threshold and performance time in a 10,000 m run. For 8 weeks, training mileage was reduced from 75.8 miles per week to 42.5 miles per week including interval training twice weekly. Following the specialized training, performance time was 10 seconds faster although VO2max and heart contractility had decreased. It was concluded that distance running performance can be maintained while considerably reducing training mileage and increasing exercise intensity twice a week.     

Exercise training in chronic heart failure: beneficial effects on cardiac (11)C-hydroxyephedrine PET, autonomic nervous control, and ventricular repolarization.

Abnormalities of autonomic nervous function are associated with a poor prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). We studied the effects of a 6-mo exercise training program on Q-T interval dispersion, heart rate and blood pressure variability, baroreflex sensitivity, myocardial blood flow (MBF), and presynaptic sympathetic innervation in 13 patients with New York Heart Association class II-III heart failure. METHODS: MBF was measured with the H(2)(15)O and C(15)O technique. Cardiac presynaptic innervation was studied by (11)C-hydroxyephedrine (HED) retention assessed with PET. Heart rate and blood pressure variability and baroreflex sensitivity were tested with the phenylephrine method. All studies were performed before and after a 6-mo exercise training program. The exercise capacity was determined by spiroergometry, and Q-T dispersion was measured from a standard 12-lead electrocardiogram. RESULTS: Q-T dispersion was reduced after the training period (mean +/- SEM, from 52 +/- 5 to 36 +/- 5 ms [P = 0.01]). Global (11)C-HED retention improved from 0.228 +/- 0.099 to 0.263 +/- 0.066 s(-1) (P < 0.05). Global MBF was not affected by training, but MBF increased in areas of low initial perfusion in patients with coronary artery disease (from 0.382 +/- 0.062 to 0.562 +/- 0.083 mL/g/min [P < 0.005]). The high-frequency spectrum and total R-R interval variability increased (from 4.53 +/- 0.30 to 5.02 +/- 0.36 ms(2) [P < 0.05] and from 3.60 +/- 0.34 to 4.31 +/- 0.37 ms(2) [P < 0.005], respectively). Both changes correlated significantly with the observed change in (11)C-HED retention. There was a significant reduction of total and a near-significant reduction of low-frequency (LF) systolic blood-pressure (SBP) variability (from 4.89 +/- 1.03 to 3.18 +/- 0.48 [P < 0.05] and from 2.79 +/- 0.38 to 1.76 +/- 0.24 [P = 0.059], respectively). The decrease in LF SBP variability correlated inversely with the enhancement of (11)C-HED retention (r = -0.66; P < 0.05). Baroreflex sensitivity increased from 5.83 +/- 0.82 to 10.15 +/- 1.66 ms/mm Hg (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Exercise training induces beneficial changes in functional and imaging measures of cardiovascular autonomic nervous control. These observations point to a training-induced shift toward normalization of the compensatory autonomic nervous imbalance in CHF.
