Development of Methods to Clarify the Training Effects on Blood Pressure Regulation in Muscle Metaboreflex
【Supercategory:7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory:7.16 Vol.16】
We measured muscle cellular pH thorough phosphorous nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (³¹P-NMR), MAP and heart rate (HR) during ischemia after sustained handgrip exercise at 50% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Contraction was sustained for 30, 45, and 60 s, followed by 2 min of circulatory arrest, respectively. Muscle cellular pH during the ischemia decreased linearly with increasing contraction time after 30, 45, and 60 s contractions. The MAP did not change during the ischemia after 30 s contractions. However, it significantly increased after 45 and 60 s contractions. The linear relationship between MAP and pH was seen in all of subjects and each regression coefficient was above 0.80.
This indicates that the slope of relationship between muscle cellular pH and MAP can be calculated in individual to evaluate the gain of muscle metaboreflex by the method of this study. The slope which was calculated from all of data in control group was not significantly different from that in training group. This suggests that the gain of muscle metaboreflex would not be changed by daily tennis training.
