Abstract:
“Strength” training has become a major component sports and rehabilitation. We have developed an exercise paradigm that combines three modalities known to positively influence “strength”. 21 female subjects were recruited, whereof 12 were trained. Before and after 5.5 weeks of training, oxygen consumption, lactate levels and body composition were determined, muscle biopsies were acquired, and dynamic 31P spectroscopy measurements were performed. Capillary-to-fiber-ratio, calf lean mass, peak power, resting pH, and resting inorganic phosphate and phosphocreatine concentrations changed significantly with training. A large increase in enhancement of metabolic parameters in a short time is therefore possible using this new exercise paradigm.
