Purpose: To determine the extent to which the width of the space in the medial tibiotalar joint depends on plantar flexion. Material and Methods: Thirty healthy volunteers were studied by means of a.p. roentgenograms of the left ankle both in a neutral position and in plantar flexion. Results: The medial joint space showed significant widening (average 0.65 mm) between the neutral position and plantar flexion. Conclusion: When ankle joint injuries are studied on radiographs, the position of the foot must be taken into consideration.

Plantar Flexion Exercise

This study tested the hypothesis that intermittent compression of the lower limb would increase blood flow during exercise and postexercise recovery. Data were collected from 12 healthy individuals (8 men) who performed 3 min of standing plantar flexion exercise. The following three conditions were tested: no applied compression (NoComp), compression during the exercise period only (ExComp), and compression during 2 min of standing postexercise recovery. Doppler ultrasound was used to determine superficial femoral artery (SFA) blood flow responses. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cardiac stroke volume (SV) were assessed using finger photoplethysmography, with vascular conductance (VC) calculated as VC = SFA flow/MAP. Compared with the NoComp condition, compression resulted in increased MAP during exercise [+3.5 ± 4.1 mmHg (mean ± SD)] but not during postexercise recovery (+1.6 ± 5.9 mmHg). SV increased with compression during both exercise (+4.8 ± 5.1 ml) and recovery (+8.0 ± 6.6 ml) compared with NoComp. There was a greater increase in SFA flow with compression during exercise (+52.1 ± 57.2 ml/min) and during recovery (+58.6 ± 56.7 ml/min). VC immediately following exercise was also significantly greater in the ExComp condition compared with the NoComp condition (+0.57 ± 0.42 ml·min−1·mmHg−1), suggesting the observed increase in blood flow during exercise was in part because of changes in VC. Results from this study support the hypothesis that intermittent compression applied during exercise and recovery from exercise results in increased limb blood flow, potentially contributing to changes in exercise performance and recovery. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Blood flow to working skeletal muscle is achieved in part through the rhythmic actions of the skeletal muscle pump. This study demonstrated that the application of intermittent pneumatic compression during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle, to mimic the mechanical actions of the muscle pump, accentuates muscle blood flow during exercise and elevates blood flow during the postexercise recovery period. Intermittent compression during and after exercise might have implications for exercise performance and recovery.

Plantar Flexion Exercise

Previously, it was demonstrated in exercise-trained humans that phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery is significantly altered by fraction of inspired O2 (FiO2), suggesting that in this population under normoxic conditions, O2 availability limits maximal oxidative rate. Haseler LJ, Hogan ML, and Richardson RS. J Appl Physiol 86: 2013–2018, 1999. To further elucidate these population-specific limitations to metabolic rate, we used 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy to study the exercising human gastrocnemius muscle under conditions of varied FiO2 in sedentary subjects. To test the hypothesis that PCr recovery from submaximal exercise in sedentary subjects is not limited by O2 availability, but rather by their mitochondrial capacity, six sedentary subjects performed three bouts of 6-min steady-state submaximal plantar flexion exercise followed by 5 min of recovery while breathing three different FiO2 (0.10, 0.21, and 1.00). PCr recovery time constants were significantly longer in hypoxia (47.0 ± 3.2 s), but there was no difference between hyperoxia (31.8 ± 1.9 s) and normoxia (30.0 ± 2.1 s) (mean ± SE). End-exercise pH was not significantly different across treatments. These results suggest that the maximal muscle oxidative rate of these sedentary subjects, unlike their exercise-trained counterparts, is limited by mitochondrial capacity and not O2 availability in normoxia. Additionally, the significant elongation of PCr recovery in these subjects in hypoxia illustrates the reliance on O2 supply at the other end of the O2 availability spectrum in both sedentary and active populations.
