The highest sustainable rate of aerobic metabolism [critical power (CP)] and the finite amount of work that can be performed above CP (W' [curvature constant]) were determined under two muscle contraction duty cycles. Eight men completed at least three constant-power handgrip tests to exhaustion to determine CP and W' for 50% and 20% duty cycles, while brachial artery blood flow (Q̇BA) and deoxygenated-[hemoglobin + myoglobin] (deoxy-[Hb+Mb]) were measured. CP was lower for the 50% duty cycle (3.9 ± 0.9 W) than the 20% duty cycle (5.1 ± 0.8 W; p < 0.001), while W' was not significantly different (50% duty cycle: 452 ± 141 J vs. 20% duty cycle: 432 ± 130 J; p > 0.05). At the same power output, Q̇BA and deoxy-[Hb + Mb] achieved higher end-exercise values for the 20% duty cycle (9.87 ± 1.73 ml·s(-1); 51.7 ± 4.7 μM) than the 50% duty cycle (7.37 ± 1.76 ml·s(-1), p < 0.001; 44.3 ± 2.4 μM, p < 0.03). These findings indicate that blood flow influences CP, but not W'.
在两种肌肉收缩工作周期下,确定了有氧代谢的最高可持续率[临界功率 (CP)]和超过 CP 可完成的有限工作量 (W'[曲率常数])。八名男性完成了至少三次恒功率握力测试,直至力竭,以确定 50%和 20%工作周期的 CP 和 W',同时测量肱动脉血流量 (Q̇BA)和去氧-[血红蛋白+肌红蛋白] (deoxy-[Hb+Mb])。50%工作周期的 CP 低于 20%工作周期 (3.9±0.9 W 比 5.1±0.8 W;p<0.001),而 W' 没有显著差异 (50%工作周期:452±141 J 比 20%工作周期:432±130 J;p>0.05)。在相同的功率输出下,20%工作周期的 Q̇BA 和 deoxy-[Hb+Mb]达到了更高的运动末期值 (9.87±1.73 ml·s(-1);51.7±4.7 μM),高于 50%工作周期 (7.37±1.76 ml·s(-1),p<0.001;44.3±2.4 μM,p<0.03)。这些发现表明血流量影响 CP,但不影响 W'。
