Abstract
Purpose: There is a scarcity of information regarding the effect of upper-body eccentric exercise on biomarkers of muscle damage. This study sought to investigate the effect of eccentric arm cycling on muscle damage [exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD)].
Method: Ten subjects performed a 15 min eccentric arm cycling protocol (cadence 49 ± 7 rpm, power absorbed 248 ± 34 W). Maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the elbow flexors was evaluated at rest and at 5 min, 24 h, and 48 h post-exercise. In addition, blood samples were drawn at rest and thereafter at 30 min, 24 h, and 48 h intervals after exercise for quantification of creatine kinase (CK), myoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and endothelin (ET-1) concentrations. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) was assessed using a category ratio scale (0-10).
Results: Myoglobin was increased from baseline at 30 min post-exercise (+114%, 46.08 ± 22.17 µg/L, p = 0.018). Individual peak values were higher than baseline values for CK (+72.8%, 204 ± 138 U/L, p = 0.046) and LDH (+17%, 3.3 ± 0.88 nmole/min/mL, p = 0.017), but not for ET-1 (+9%, 1.4 ± 0.48 pg/mL, p = 0.45). DOMS was reported at 24 h (median 4) and 48 h (median 4) post-exercise and MVC of the elbow flexors were reduced from baseline (216 ± 44 N) at 5 min (-34%, 147 ± 61 N, p < 0.001), 24 h (-17%, 181 ± 56 N, p = 0.005) and 48 h (-9%, 191 ± 54 N, p = 0.003).
Conclusion: Eccentric arm cycling incites EIMD with reduced MVC and elevation of myoglobin, CK and LDH.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging publishes reports on clinical and experimental research pertinent to human physiology in health and disease. The scope of the Journal is very broad, covering all aspects of the regulatory system in the cardiovascular, renal and pulmonary systems with special emphasis on methodological aspects. The focus for the journal is, however, work that has potential clinical relevance. The Journal also features review articles on recent front-line research within these fields of interest.
Covered by the major abstracting services including Current Contents and Science Citation Index, Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging plays an important role in providing effective and productive communication among clinical physiologists world-wide.
