Abstract

Peroxynitrite anion (ONOO(-)) is a potent biological oxidant produced by the near diffusion-limited reaction of superoxide and nitric oxide. Peroxynitrite has been implicated in diverse forms of free radical-induced tissue injury. Experimental evidence showed that exogenous and endogenous peroxynitrite causes alterations of the structure and function of mitochondrial proteins, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular or organ injury. These data are discussed along with its physiopathological implications.

Energy cost and physiological responses of males snowshoeing with rotating and fixed toe-cord designs in powdered snow conditions.

The purpose of this study was to measure the energy cost and physiological responses of males while snowshoeing with two separate toe-cord designs (rotating toe-cord system vs. fixed toe-cord design) in powdered snow conditions. Eight males snowshoed at self-selected intensity for two, 1600 m trials in two snowshoes, with a rotating toe-cord system and a fixed-toe cord design. It was found that heart rate (HR) (140 vs. 134 beats min(-1)), oxygen consumption (VO(2)) (63.4 vs. 34.0 ml kg(-1)min(-1)), energy cost (56.0 vs. 52.4 kJ min(-1)), and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) (13 vs. 12) were significantly (p < 0.05) higher while snowshoeing with the fixed toe-cord design than with the rotating toe-cord system. Snowshoeing with the rotating toe-cord system at an average speed of 3.96 km h(-1) produced mean VO(2) values that were 56% of VO(2) max, while snowshoeing with the fixed toe-cord design at 3.86 km h(-1) evoked mean VO(2) values that were 60% of VO(2) max. Mean HR while snowshoeing with the rotating toe-cord system was 70% of HR max, while the mean HR when snowshoeing with the fixed toe-cord design was 74% of HR max. These findings suggest that snowshoeing with a rotating toe-cord system results in lower cardiorespiratory strain in powdered snow conditions compared to snowshoeing with a fixed toe-cord design.
