Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During repeated sets of high-intensity exercise, the accumulation of hydrogen ions (and the resulting intramuscular acidosis) is a main mechanism for muscle fatigue. This study investigated whether hyperventilation (HV)-induced respiratory alkalosis, implemented during inter-set recovery would attenuate the performance decrement associated with fatigue.
HV has been found to be effective in attenuating performance decrement during repeated short pedaling sprints and resistance training (bench press & leg press). The effectiveness of HV however varied depending on the duration of HV, the types of exercise and the level of acidosis incurred during the exercise. If these conditions are not appropriate, one may lose performance due to the negative effects of HV such as impaired hemodynamics in the periphery and the brain. Further research is warranted to clarify ideal conditions for miximized or consistent efficacy of HV.
