  • Title: Cerebral oxygenation during intermittent supramaximal exercise.
    Author: Shibuya K, Tanaka J, Kuboyama N, Ogaki T.
    Journal: Respir Physiol Neurobiol; 2004 May 20; 140(2):165-72. PubMed ID: 15134664.
    Abstract:
    This study examined cerebral deoxygenation during intermittent supramaximal exercise in six healthy male subjects (age: 27.2 +/- 0.6 years (mean +/- S.E.). The subjects performed seven times exercise at an intensity corresponding to 150% of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) on cycle ergometer (30 s exercise/15 s rest). Cerebral oxygenation was measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The peak blood lactate concentration after exercise was 15.3 +/- 0.2 mmol/l. Cerebral oxygenation increased in first repetition compared with at rest (+ 5.7 +/- 0.6 microM; P < 0.05), but then decreased with time. Thus, in the last repetition cerebral oxygenation was - 8.5 +/- 0.4 microM (P < 0.05). There was no significant change in arterial oxygen saturation (99.6 +/- at rest, 98.4 +/- 0.2 at the final set of intermittent exercise), and there was no correlated change in end-tidal CO2 concentration with cerebral oxygenation (P > 0.05). These findings suggest that the fatigue resulting from dynamic severe exercise related to a decrease in the cerebral oxygenation level.
