Abstract

This study compared glycogen depletion in active skeletal muscle after light and moderate exercise in both cold and comfortable ambient conditions. Twelve male subjects (Ss) were divided into two groups equally matched for the submaximal exercise intensity corresponding to a blood lactate concentration of 4 mM (W4) during cycle exercise. On two separate days Ss rested for 30 min at ambient temperatures of either 9 degrees C or 21 degrees C, with the order of temperature exposure being counter-balanced among Ss. Following rest a tissue specimen was obtained from the m. vastus lateralis with the needle biopsy technique. Six Ss then exercised on a cycle ergometer for 30 min at 30% W4 (range = 50 - 65 W) while the remaining group exercised at 60% W4 (range = 85 - 120 W). Another biopsy was taken immediately after exercise and both samples were assayed for glycogen content. Identical procedures were repeated for the second environmental exposure. No significant glycogen depletion was observed in the Ss exercising at 30% W4 in 21 degrees C, but a 23% decrease (p = 0.04) was observed when the same exercise was performed at 9 degrees C. A 22% decrease (p = 0.002) in glycogen occurred in the 60% W4 group at 21 degrees C, which was not significantly different from that observed during the same exercise at 9 degrees C. The results suggest that muscle substrate utilization is increased during light exercise in a cold environment as compared to similar exercise at a comfortable temperature, probably due to shivering thermogenesis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Other factors may impact the degradation of muscle glycogen, such as dehydration and hyperthermia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
