    Abstract:
    The purpose of the present study was to examine aerobic and muscle anaerobic energy production during supramaximal repeated exercise. Eight subjects performed three 2-min bouts of cycling (EX1-EX3) at an intensity corresponding to about 125 % of VO2 max separated by 15 min of rest. Ventilatory variables were measured breath by breath during the exercise and a muscle biopsy was taken before and after each exercise bout. Blood samples were collected before and after each cycling period and during the recovery periods. Total work in the first 2 min bout of cycling, EX1, [46.3 +/- 2.1 KJ] was greater than in the second, EX2, (p < 0.01) and in the third, EX3, (p < 0.05). The ATP utilization [4.0 +/- 1.4 mmol x (kg dry weight)(-1), EX1] during the three exercise bouts was the same. The decrement in muscle phosphocreatine (PCr) [46.8 +/- 8.5 mmol x (kg dry weight)(-1), EX1] was also similar for the three exercise bouts. Muscle lactate accumulation was greater (p < 0.05) during EX1 compared to EX2 and EX3. The total oxygen consumption was the same for the three exercise bouts, but when it is corrected for the total work performed, oxygen uptake during EX2 (153 +/- 9 ml x KJ(-1)) and EX3 (150 +/- 9 ml x KJ(-1)) was higher (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively) than during EX1 (139 +/- 8 ml x KJ(-1)). The present data suggest that oxidative metabolism does not compensate for the reduction of anaerobic glycolysis during repeated fatiguing exercise.
