Biology,
To evaluate the
hypothesis that endurance training increases intramuscular triglyceride
(IMTG) oxidation, we studied leg net free fatty acid (FFA) and glycerol
exchange during 1 h of cycle ergometry at two intensities before
training [45 and 65% of peak rate of oxygen consumption
(
O2 peak)]
and after training [65% pretraining
O2 peak, same
absolute workload (ABT), and 65% posttraining
O2 peak, same
relative intensity (RLT)]. Nine male subjects (178.1 ± 2.5 cm, 81.8 ± 3.3 kg, 27.4 ± 2.0 yr) were tested before and after
9 wk of cycle ergometer training, five times per week at 75%
O2 peak.
The power output that elicited 66.1 ± 1.1% of
O2 peak before
training elicited 54.0 ± 1.7% after training due to a 14.6 ± 3.1% increase in
O2 peak. Training
significantly (P < 0.05) decreased
pulmonary respiratory exchange ratio (RER) values at ABT (0.96 ± 0.01 at 65% pre- vs. 0.93 ± 0.01 posttraining) but not RLT (0.95 ± 0.01). After training, leg respiratory quotient (RQ) was not
significantly different at either ABT (0.98 ± 0.02 pre- vs. 0.98 ± 0.03 posttraining) or RLT (1.01 ± 0.02). Net FFA uptake was
increased at RLT but not ABT after training. FFA fractional extraction
was not significantly different after training or at any exercise
intensity. Net glycerol release, and therefore IMTG lipolysis
calculated from three times net glycerol release, did not change from
rest to exercise or at ABT but decreased at the same RLT after
training. Muscle biopsies revealed minor muscle triglyceride changes
during exercise. Simultaneous measurements of leg RQ, net FFA uptake,
and glycerol release by working legs indicated no change in leg FFA
oxidation, FFA uptake, or IMTG lipolysis during leg cycling exercise
that elicits 65% pre- and 54% posttraining
O2 peak. Training
increases working muscle FFA uptake at 65%
O2 peak, but high RER
and RQ values at all work intensities indicate that FFA and
IMTG are of secondary importance as fuels in moderate and
greater-intensity exercise.
