We hypothesized that forearm blood flow (FBF) during moderate intensity dynamic exercise would meet the demands of the exercise and that postexercise FBF would quickly recover. In contrast, during heavy exercise, FBF would be inadequate causing a marked postexercise hyperemia and sustained increase in muscle oxygen uptake (V˙o 2musc). Six subjects did forearm exercise (1-s contraction/relaxation, 1-s pause) for 5 min at 25 and 75% of peak workload. FBF was determined by Doppler ultrasound, and O2 extraction was estimated from venous blood samples. In moderate exercise, FBF andV˙o 2musc increased within 2 min to steady state. Rapid recovery to baseline suggested adequate O2supply during moderate exercise. In contrast, FBF was not adequate during heavy dynamic exercise. Immediately postexercise, there was an ∼50% increase in FBF. Furthermore, we observed for the first time in the recovery period an increase inV˙o 2musc above end-exercise values. During moderate exercise, O2 supply met requirements, but with heavy forearm exercise, inadequate O2 supply during exercise caused accumulation of a large O2 deficit that was repaid during recovery.

The effect of low blood flow at onset of moderate-intensity exercise on the rate of rise in muscle oxygen uptake was examined. Seven male subjects performed a 3.5-min one-legged knee-extensor exercise bout (24 ± 1 W, mean ± SD) without (Con) and with (double blockade; DB) arterial infusion of inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase ( NG-monomethyl-l-arginine) and cyclooxygenase (indomethacin) to inhibit the synthesis of nitric oxide and prostanoids, respectively. Leg blood flow and leg oxygen delivery throughout exercise was 25–50% lower ( P < 0.05) in DB compared with Con. Leg oxygen extraction (arteriovenous O2 difference) was higher ( P < 0.05) in DB than in Con (5 s: 127 ± 3 vs. 56 ± 4 ml/l), and leg oxygen uptake was not different between Con and DB during exercise. The difference between leg oxygen delivery and leg oxygen uptake was smaller ( P < 0.05) during exercise in DB than in Con (5 s: 59 ± 12 vs. 262 ± 39 ml/min). The present data demonstrate that muscle blood flow and oxygen delivery can be markedly reduced without affecting muscle oxygen uptake in the initial phase of moderate-intensity exercise, suggesting that blood flow does not limit muscle oxygen uptake at the onset of exercise. Additionally, prostanoids and/or nitric oxide appear to play important roles in elevating skeletal muscle blood flow in the initial phase of exercise.

This study used priming exercise in young boys to investigate (i) how muscle oxygen delivery and oxygen utilization, and muscle activity modulate oxygen uptake kinetics during exercise; and (ii) whether the accelerated oxygen uptake kinetics following priming exercise can improve exercise tolerance. Seven boys that were aged 11.3 ± 1.6 years completed either a single bout (bout 1) or repeated bouts with 6 min of recovery (bout 2) of very heavy-intensity cycling exercise. During the tests oxygen uptake, muscle oxygenation, muscle electrical activity and exercise tolerance were measured. Priming exercise most likely shortened the oxygen uptake mean response time (change, ±90% confidence limits; –8.0 s, ±3.0), possibly increased the phase II oxygen uptake amplitude (0.11 L·min−1, ±0.09) and very likely reduced the oxygen uptake slow component amplitude (–0.08 L·min−1, ±0.07). Priming resulted in a likely reduction in integrated electromyography (–24% baseline, ±21% and –25% baseline, ±19) and a very likely reduction in Δ deoxyhaemoglobin/Δoxygen uptake (–0.16, ±0.11 and –0.09, ±0.05) over the phase II and slow component portions of the oxygen uptake response, respectively. A correlation was present between the change in tissue oxygenation index during bout 2 and the change in the phase II (r = –0.72, likely negative) and slow component (r = 0.72, likely positive) oxygen uptake amplitudes following priming exercise, but not for muscle activity. Exercise tolerance was likely reduced (change –177 s, ±180) following priming exercise. The altered phase II and slow component oxygen uptake amplitudes in boys following priming exercise are linked to an improved localised matching of muscle oxygen delivery to oxygen uptake and not muscle electrical activity. Despite more rapid oxygen uptake kinetics following priming exercise, exercise tolerance was not enhanced.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of norepinephrine infusion alone and during alkalosis on oxygen uptake in the dog gastrocnemius-plantaris muscle group under conditions of constant muscle blood flow. The animals were not cold acclimatized. Blood flow was pump controlled, alkalosis was produced by hyperventilation, and norepinephrine was infused intravenously at a rate of 1–1.5 μg/kg per minute. Alkalosis had no effect either alone or in combination with changes in blood flow. Similarly, changing blood flow from a low (0.10 ± 0.02 mL/g muscle per minute (mean ± SE)) to a high (0.34 ± 0.04 mL/g muscle per minute) rate did not alter resting oxygen uptake. Norepinephrine caused an average increase of about 30% in resting muscle oxygen uptake which was sustained for the 15-min sampling period during low flow - norepinephrine infusion and during the low and high blood flow - norepinephrine - alkalosis sampling periods. Norepinephrine infusion during the period of high muscle blood flow without alkalosis resulted in a transient increase followed by a decrease in muscle oxygen uptake. The data demonstrated that infusion of norepinephrine increased skeletal muscle oxygen uptake in "non-cold-acclimatized" dogs at low constant muscle blood flow. Further, without alkalosis, the norepinephrine effect at high flow was transient.
