Pre-exercise carbohydrate and fluid ingestion: influence of glycemic response on 10-km treadmill running performance in the heat.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of ingesting solutions containing mixtures of carbohydrate (CHO) types on pre-exercise glycemic response, exercise-induced hypoglycemia, metabolic responses, and 10-km treadmill running performance in a warm environment. METHODS: Ten trained runners completed 6, self-paced 10-km treadmill runs one hour after ingesting 900 ml of one of the following test solutions: a water placebo (WP), an 8 g 100 ml-1 high fructose corn syrup solution (HFG; 72 g CHO), a 6 g 100 ml-1 glucose solution (GLU; 54 g CHO), a 6 g.100 ml-1 sucrose/glucose mixture (SUG; 54 g CHO), or banana with water to equal 900 ml (BAN; approx. 54 g CHO). The sixth condition was 675 ml of an 8 g.100 ml-1 HFCS solution (LFG; 54 g CHO). Blood samples were taken prior to ingestion and every 15 min during rest and at 15 and 30 min, and at the end of the 10-km run. Blood was analyzed for glucose (BG) insulin (IN), glycerol, lactate, and percent change in plasma volume. Urine volume during the 1 hour of rest and change in body mass during exercise were also determined. RESULTS: A significant (p < 0.05) correlation (r = -0.684) was seen between the pre-exercise glycemic response (PEGR = area under the resting BG curve) and the change in BG from pre-EX to 15 min of exercise. BG at 15 min of exercise was significantly higher in the WP (5.22 mM) versus the other conditions (HFG = 3.32, LFG = 3.91, GLU = 3.38, BAN = 3.74 & SUG = 3.63 mM). Pre-exercise IN was lower in the WP (6.54 U ml-1) condition versus the other conditions (HFG = 22.1, LFG = 16.2, GLU = 23.3, BAN = 18.8 & SUG = 12.8 U.ml-1). Ten km performance times were not different (WP = 41.87, HFG = 41.66, LFG = 41.79, GLU = 41.65, BAN = 41.53, and SUG = 41.75 min). A significantly greater body mass loss occurred due to urine production during the 60 min of rest in the WP compared to the other conditions. The degree of exercise-induced decline in blood glucose was related to the PEGR; however, the decline in BG did not affect 10-km running performance. In addition, there were no differences in the metabolic responses during exercise between the different CHO types, nor did the type of CHO influence running performance. Finally, the presence of CHO and/or electrolytes in the hydration solutions produced a better fluid retention during the 60-min pre-exercise rest period compared to water. CONCLUSIONS: The results confirmed that if a competitive athlete consumed a breakfast prior to ingesting a CHO-electrolyte beverage, a practice that is common, the glycemic responses may be different.

Anti-inflammatory doses of ibuprofen: effect on neutrophils and exercise-induced muscle injury.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of anti-inflammatory doses of ibuprofen on neutrophils, neutrophil O2* production, and markers of muscle injury. Males (n=10) performed 2 bouts of one-arm eccentric exercise on opposite arms separated by three weeks. Subjects received 2400 mg x d(-1) of ibuprofen or a placebo 5 d before exercise and during 10 d of recovery. Measurements were made before the treatments, pre-exercise, at 4 h, and at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 10 d post-exercise. Circulating neutrophil counts were similar between the treatments at the sampling points. Neutrophil counts were higher (p<0.05) for ibuprofen and were elevated (p<0.05) at 4h post-exercise relative to pre-exercise in both treatments. Stimulated neutrophil O2* production was lower for ibuprofen relative to placebo at pre-exercise and was increased (p<0.05) at 4 h and 4 d of both treatments. CK activity at 3 d post-exercise was lower (p<0.05) for ibuprofen relative to placebo. Isometric strength, soreness, tenderness, and arm angles were similar between the treatments. In conclusion, anti-inflammatory doses of ibuprofen reduced CK activity but not the neutrophil response or other indirect markers of muscle injury during recovery from eccentric arm exercise.

Influence of carbohydrate status on immune responses before and after endurance exercise.

To determine the effect of carbohydrate (CHO) status on immune responses after long-duration exercise, on two occasions, 10 men completed a glycogen-depleting bout of cycle ergometry followed by 48 h of either a high-CHO diet (HiCHO; 8.0 g CHO/kg) or a low-CHO diet (LoCHO; 0.5 g CHO/kg). After the 48 h, subjects completed a 60-min ride at 75% maximal O2 uptake (EX). Blood samples were taken predepletion, pre-EX, post-EX, and 2 and 24 h post-EX and were assayed for leukocyte number and function, glucose, glutamine, and cortisol. The glucose responses were significantly higher in the HiCHO (4.62 +/- 0.26 mM) vs. the LoCHO (3.19 +/- 0.15 mM) condition post-EX, and glutamine was significantly higher in the HiCHO (0.472 +/- 0.036 mM) vs. the LoCHO (0.410 +/- 0.025 mM) condition throughout. Cortisol levels were significantly greater in the LoCHO (587 +/- 50 nM) vs. the HiCHO (515 +/- 62 nM) condition throughout the trial. Lymphocyte proliferation (phytohemagglutinin) was significantly depressed after exercise. However, there was no difference between conditions, and the depression was not correlated with elevations in cortisol. Circulating numbers of leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and lymphocyte subsets were significantly greater in the LoCHO vs. the HiCHO condition at the post-EX and 2 h post-EX time points. These data indicate that the exercise and diet manipulation altered the number of circulating leukocytes but did not affect the decrease in lymphocyte proliferation that occurred after exercise.

Nitric oxide synthase inhibition reduces muscle inflammation and necrosis in modified muscle use.

The objective of this study was to determine the role of nitric oxide in muscle inflammation, fiber necrosis, and apoptosis of inflammatory cells in vivo. The effects of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition on the concentrations of neutrophils, ED1+ and ED2+ macrophages, apoptotic inflammatory cells, and necrotic muscle fibers in rats subjected to 10 days of hindlimb unloading and 2 days of reloading were determined. Administration of NOS inhibitor N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) significantly reduced the concentrations of neutrophils, ED1+ and ED2+ macrophages, and necrotic fibers in soleus muscle relative to water-treated controls. The concentration of apoptotic inflammatory cells was also significantly lower for L-NAME-treated animals compared with water-treated controls. However, the proportion of the inflammatory cell population that was apoptotic did not differ between L-NAME-treated and control animals, suggesting that L-NAME treatment did not decrease inflammatory cell populations by increasing the frequency of apoptosis. Thus, nitric oxide or one of its intermediates promotes muscle inflammation and fiber necrosis during modified muscle use and plays no more than a minor role in the resolution of muscle inflammation by inducing apoptosis of inflammatory cells.

Hormonal responses to excessive training: influence of cross training.

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the changes in blood hormone levels elicited by increases in training volume. After 30 d of recording their training volume and intensity (normal training, 57.5 +/- 10.9 km.wk-1), 11 well-trained distance runners completed two randomly assigned 10 day periods of increased training volume (200% normal training). Each increased training regimen was preceded by two weeks of reduced training (80% normal training). The increased training regimens consisted of either running only (RT) at 200% of normal training distance or running (100% normal training) and cycling (kcal = 100% normal training: CT). During each increased training regimen the subjects ran 10 consecutive afternoons at a distance equivalent to 100% of normal training (approximately 75% VO2max) and performed eight additional morning sessions (0500-0800 h). During RT the subjects performed their morning workouts on a treadmill and during CT the workouts were performed on a bicycle ergometer. Blood samples were obtained (0500-0700 h) after 15 min supine rest after normal training, and before (day 0), on day five (day 5) and following ten days (day 11) of RT and CT. Serum was analyzed for testosterone, free testosterone, cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone, luteinizing hormone, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate. Free testosterone was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced on day 5 and day 11 of RT and CT compared to day 0 and total testosterone was lower on day 5 than day 0. However, no significant treatment or interaction effects were observed for total testosterone or free testosterone. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate was also significantly lower across time, i.e., day 11 was lower than day 0 and day 5; however, cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and luteinizing hormone were not significantly altered during RT or CT. The endocrine responses to an increased training volume with cross training and mode specific training were similar.

Serum haptoglobin and ferritin during a competitive running and swimming season.

The purpose of the study was to examine ferritin, haptoglobin, and red cell indices during a competitive running and swimming season. Male runners (N = 8) and swimmers (N = 5) were tested four times during their respective seasons. The runners were tested before the start of organized practice (RT1), after 3 wk of increased training (RT2), 3 wk prior to the conference championship (pre-taper, RT3), and 3 d after the conference championship (post-taper, RT4). The swimmers were tested after the first 9 wk of training (ST1), after completing 2 wk of hard training (ST2), after an additional 6wk of training (pre-taper, ST3), and 1 wk following the conference championship (post-taper, ST4). For the runners, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell number were lower (p < 0.05) at RT2 and were not accompanied by significant changes in other red cell indices or haptoglobin. Serum ferritin in the runners was lower at RT3 and RT4 compared to RT1 despite an adequate dietary iron intake. Hemoglobin and mean cell hemoglobin concentration were lower and mean cell volume was higher in the swimmers at ST3 and ST4. No significant changes were observed in other red cell indices for swimmers; however, serum haptoglobin tended (p = 0.07) to be reduced at ST2. In conclusion, collegiate male runners and swimmers do not demonstrate clinical hypoferritinemia, hypohaptoglobinemia, or alterations in red cell indices suggestive of the early stage of anemia with or without iron deficiency during their respective season.

The effect of preexercise carbohydrate status on resistance exercise performance.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a high vs. a low preexercise carbohydrate (CHO) diet on performance during multiple sets of resistance exercise. Eleven resistance-trained males performed cycle ergometry to deplete quadriceps muscle glycogen stores, followed by 48 hr of a high (HICHO) or a low (LOCHO) CHO diet. Subjects then performed five sets each of squats, leg presses, and knee extensions (resistance = 15 RM) to failure. Blood samples were taken before and during exercise for determination of glucose and lactate (LA). No differences in performance (repetitions x weight lifted) were observed (HICHO = 15,975 +/- 1,381 and LOCHO = 15,723 +/- 1,231 kg). Blood glucose was significantly higher after exercise for HICHO compared to LOCHO (HICHO = 4.8 +/- 0.2 vs. LOCHO = 3.9 +/- 0.2 mmol.L-1). No differences in LA accumulation were observed. The data indicated that preexercise CHO status did not affect resistance exercise performance. Further, the differences in blood glucose and the similarity in LA responses suggest that glycolysis was maintained in the LOCHO condition, and there may have been an increased reliance on blood glucose when preexercise CHO status was low.

The effect of moderate aerobic training on lymphocyte proliferation.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 12 wks of aerobic training on resting lymphocyte number and proliferation, and immunoglobulin and cytokine levels. Eleven college-aged males (training group = EX) performed 30 min of cycling at 75% of VO2peak, 3 days/wk with VO2peak assessment and blood samples taken at 0,8 and 12 wks. A group of 10 sedentary controls (CT) underwent the same testing protocol. Lymphocyte proliferation response to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) was quantified as a stimulation index (SI) based on the ratio of stimulated versus control cultures, and as total counts per min (CPM). Immunoglobulin (Ig) levels (IgG, IgA, and IgM), and lymphocyte counts were also determined. There was a significant increase in VO2 in the EX group (41.0 +/- 1.8 vs. 46.3 +/- 1.4 ml.kg-1.min-1 pre and post training, respectively). Training had no effect on the PHA SI for the EX group (23.9 +/- 3.3, 27.7 +/- 4.1, and 26.3 +/- 4.0 at 0, 8 and 12 wks, respectively), or the responses of the CT group (28.8 +/- 6.0, 23.9 +/- 3.1, and 30.6 +/- 4.3). No changes were observed for the PWM SI. Significant increases were observed in the CPM for both groups. No differences in the Ig or lymphocyte levels were found during the study. These data indicate that 12 wks of moderate endurance training did not alter resting immune function as determined by mitogen stimulated lymphocyte proliferation, total circulating lymphocytes, or Ig levels.

Maximal accumulated oxygen deficit of resistance-trained men.

The primary purpose of the study was to compare maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD) in resistance-trained (RT), endurance-trained (ET), and untrained men (UT). A secondary purpose was to determine the influence of leg muscle mass (MM) on MAOD by examining the relationship between MM and MAOD and by comparing MAOD expressed relative to MM between the groups. MAOD was determined during 2-4 min of constant-load fatiguing cycling. MM, estimated via anthropometric measurements, was higher (p < .05) for RT (mean +/- SE; 25.5 +/- 3.4 kg) compared to ET (20.3 +/- 3.5) and UT (21.6 +/- 3.4). MAOD in liters O2eq was larger in RT (4.75 +/- 0.3) compared to UT (3.07 +/- 0.3) and ET (3.75 +/- 0.3). A significant positive correlation was observed between MAOD (LO2eq) and MM (kg) for RT only (RT, r = .85; ET, r = .55; UT, r = .20). Based on the correlational and mean MM data, the higher MAOD (LO2eq) in RT relative to ET and UT is predominantly the result of their larger leg muscle mass.

Adaptation to eccentric exercise: effect on CD64 and CD11b/CD18 expression.

The primary purpose of the study was to examine circulating neutrophils and monocytes and their plasma membrane expression of CD64, CD11b, and CD18 after two bouts (B1 and B2) of eccentric exercise. Subjects (n = 10) performed 25 forced-lengthened contractions of the forearm flexors on two occasions separated by 3 wk. Blood samples were obtained before exercise and at 1.5, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h of recovery. CD64, CD11b, and CD18 expression was determined via direct immunofluorescence and used as an indicator of neutrophil and monocyte activation. Creatine kinase activity (B1 = 1,390, B2 = 108 U/l), myoglobin (B1 = 163, B2 = 41, ng/dl), and muscle soreness and tenderness were higher (P < 0.01) after B1 compared with B2. Neutrophils at 6, 12, and 96 h were higher (P < 0.05) for B1 vs. B2. CD11b expression on neutrophils was 2.7-fold higher at 72 h for B1 vs. B2. CD64 expression on neutrophils at 72 and 96 h was 1.4- and 1.9-fold higher, respectively, for B1 vs. B2. At 72 and 96 h, CD18 and CD64 expression on monocytes was 1.3-fold higher for B1 vs. B2. The observed changes were not significantly correlated with changes in creatine kinase activity or myoglobin. In conclusion, the adaptation to eccentric arm exercise was associated with a reduction in circulating neutrophils and a lower state of neutrophil and monocyte activation.

Run training vs cross training: influence of increased training on running economy, foot impact shock and run performance.

The purpose of the study was to compare changes in running economy, foot impact shock, run performance, and resting heart rate and blood pressure elicited by increases in training volume via run training (RT) and cross training (CT). After 30 d of normal training (NT), male runners (N = 11) completed two 10 d periods of increased training each preceded by 14 d of reduced training (80% NT). Subjects ran 10 consecutive days in the afternoon (100% of NT) and performed 8 additional workouts in the morning (100% of NT). The morning sessions were performed on a cycle ergometer (CT) or a treadmill (RT). Running economy, foot impact shock and lactate were assessed during submaximal running (3.9 +/- 0.06 m.sec-1) at D0 and D11. Following the submaximal run, subjects completed a simulated 5 km race on a treadmill. VO2 during the running economy test was significantly higher at D11 of CT (52.5 +/- 1.5) compared to RT (51.1 +/- 1.4 ml.kg-1.min-1). RER, carbohydrate oxidation, and lactate were significantly lower; whereas, foot impact shock was significantly higher following both training modes. No significant changes in run performance, resting heart rate and blood pressure occurred during the study. In summary, 10 d of increased training resulted in a reduced running economy for CT, and a lower carbohydrate oxidation and an increase in foot impact shock for both training modes.

A carbohydrate loading regimen improves high intensity, short duration exercise performance.

This investigation examined the effect of a carbohydrate loading regimen on high intensity, short duration run performance. Using a random crossover design, 8 trained runners completed a 15-min submaximal run and a performance run to exhaustion after two dietary treatments. The mixed diet (MD) contained 4.0 +/- 0.5 g.kg-1.d-1 of carbohydrate (CHO) for 6 days. The experimental diet (HCD) contained 4.5 +/- 0.5 g CHO.kg-1.d-1 for 3 days followed by 8.2 +/- 0.4 g CHO kg-1.d-1 for 3 days. Training consisted of daily runs of 90, 40, 40, 20, and 20 min at approximately 75% of VO2max. Day 6 was a rest day, and testing was completed on Day 7. Preexercise lactate, body weight, submaximal VO2, and heart rate did not differ significantly between treatments. Carbohydrate oxidation during submaximal running was higher (p < 0.05) after HCD than after MD. Time to exhaustion in the performance run was longer after HCD compared to MD. Results indicate that a carbohydrate loading regimen increases CHO oxidation during submaximal exercise and improves high intensity, short duration run performance.

Run training versus cross-training: effect of increased training on circulating leukocyte subsets.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of increased training via cross-training (run + cycle) and run training on circulating leukocyte subsets. Male runners (N = 11) participated in two randomly assigned increased training (IT) periods after 30 d of normal training (NT). Each IT began after a 14 d period of reduced training (80% of NT) followed by 10 d of IT (200% of NT). During IT, the subjects ran in the afternoon for 10 d (100% NT) and performed 8 additional training sessions in the morning (100% NT) on a treadmill (ITRT) or a bicycle ergometer (ITCT). Blood samples were obtained before (D0), on day 5(D5) and after 10 d (D11) of ITRT and ITCT. A significant increase in the CD4+/CD8+ ratio occurred at D5 compared with D0 and D11. The CD4+/CD8+ ratio was significantly lower during ITRT compared with ITCT at D11. The number of circulating CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ cells were significantly reduced at D11 compared with D0. In conclusion, 10 d of IT resulted in a significant reduction in the number of circulating T cells independent of the training mode and a reduction in the CD4+/CD8+ ratio for ITRT but not for ITCT.

Exercise-induced muscle damage: effect on circulating leukocyte and lymphocyte subsets.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of downhill and level running on circulating leukocyte and lymphocyte subsets and T lymphocyte activation. Using a random cross-over design, 10 runners completed two trials of 60 min of level running (0% grade; LR) and downhill running (-10% grade; DHR) at 70% of level VO2max. Blood samples were obtained preexercise and immediately postexercise (POST) and at 1.5, 12, 24, and 48 h of recovery. Creatine kinase activity peaked at 12 h of recovery from DHR and was not significantly altered following LR. The number of total T, CD16+, CD3+CD56+ cells were significantly higher POST DHR compared with LR. Leukocyte and neutrophil counts were significantly higher at 1.5 and 12 h of recovery from DHR compared with LR. The number of activated CD8+ cells (CD25+ CD8+) was significantly higher at 12 h of DHR compared to LR. Total T cells were significantly reduced at various time points during the 48 h of recovery from LR and DHR. In summary, DHR relative to LR resulted in a greater mobilization of lymphocytes (post), neutrophils (1.5-12 h of recovery) and activation of CD8+ cells at 12 h of recovery. In addition, reductions in circulating T lymphocyte subsets occurred following both conditions.

Indices of training stress during competitive running and swimming seasons.

Eight male cross-country runners and five male swimmers were tested four times during their collegiate seasons. Each trial corresponded to a different training load. The runners' trials were conducted before the start of organized practice (RT1), after 3 wk of increased training (RT2), 3 wk prior to the conference championship (pre-taper, RT3), and 4 d after the conference championship (post-taper, RT4). The swimmers' trials were conducted after the first 9 wk of training (ST1), after completing 2 wk of hard training (ST2), after an additional 6 wk of training (pre-taper, ST3) and during a week following the conference championship (post-taper, ST4). Venous blood samples, heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) were obtained after 15 min supine rest (0700 h). Serum was analyzed for cortisol (C), total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (FT), and creatine kinase (CK). Blood samples (lactate), HR and RPE were obtained during a fixed velocity run (75% preseason VO2max) and blood samples and RPE following a 365.8 m swim (90% preseason VO2max). The runners then completed a "performance run" to exhaustion (110% preseason VO2max) and the swimmers completed maximal 22.9 and 365.8 m swims. Serum CK, C, TT, FT, and the TT:C and FT:C ratios were not significantly different among trials for the runners. Serum TT and FT were significantly (P < 0.05) lower for the swimmers at ST2 (TT 16.7 +/- 2.5; FT 85.3 +/- 8.5) compared to ST1 (TT 30.3 +/- 2.8; FT 130.2 +/- 20.9) whereas, C, TT:C or FT:C were not significantly altered.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The effect of volume ingested on rehydration and gastric emptying following exercise-induced dehydration.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of different drink volumes on rehydration, gastric emptying, and markers of fluid balance following exercise-induced dehydration. Nine male subjects (27.3 +/- 5.47 yr of age, 77.8 +/- 7.9 kg) exercised for 90 min (or until 2.5% of initial body weight was lost) on a cycle ergometer in a hot environment (30 degrees C with 60% RH). Following exercise, subjects were moved to a neutral environment (23 degrees C 50% RH) and rested for 30 min prior to beginning a 3-h rehydration period. During rehydration, subjects were serially fed with an electrolyte solution (14.98 mmol.l-1 Na+, 13.51 mmol.l-1 Cl-, and 7.95 mmol.l-1 K+) every 30 min with either 100% or 150% of the fluid lost during exercise. Gastric contents were determined every 15 min using double sampling. Blood samples, urine samples, and body weights were taken before and after exercise and at 1-h intervals throughout rehydration. Blood samples were analyzed for percent change in plasma volume, electrolyte concentration, aldosterone levels, and renin activity. Urine electrolyte concentrations were also measured. The final percent rehydration was 48.11 and 67.90 for the 100% and 150% conditions, respectively. During rehydration, the subjects emptied 98.9 and 86.0% of the fluid ingested, and the % emptied and used for weight gain at the end of rehydration was 55.1 and 54.6 for the 100% and 150% trials, respectively. Urine production was significantly higher in the 150 compared with the 100% condition while renin and aldosterone levels did not differ significantly.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Opioid receptor modulation of postexercise hypotension.

Previous studies of both hypertensive and normotensive individuals have indicated a prolonged reduction in blood pressure for several hours after aerobic exercise. In related studies of spontaneously hypertensive rats, this postexercise hypotension has been prevented with naloxone. The purpose of the present investigation was to examined whether the postexercise hypotension may be reversed by antagonism of opioid sensitive receptors with naloxone in normotensive humans. Eight males 22-34 yr of age, participated in two 60-min cycling trials at 60% of VO2 peak, followed by 29 min of recovery. Beginning at 7-min recovery, naloxone or saline (control) was administered intravenously through an indwelling catheter. Blood pressure and heart rate were monitored every 15 min during exercise and every 2 min during recovery. Heart rate was significantly elevated (P < 0.05) over basal levels for the first 11 min of recovery, but from 13 to 29 min was not different from that measured at rest. In both trials, after 11 min of recovery, systolic and mean arterial blood pressures were significantly (P < 0.05) lower than pre-exercise levels (9 +/- 1 mm Hg and 4 +/- 1 mm Hg, respectively). Injection of naloxone (0.1 mg.kg-1) reversed the hypotensive response. However, the reversal was transient, lasting from minutes 15 to 27. Since naloxone reverses postexercise hypotension, opioid sensitive receptors appear to be involved in the reduction in systolic blood pressure following a single bout of submaximal exercise in normotensive humans.
