Hormonal and metabolic response to three types of exercise of equal duration and external work output

Abstract: Five normal men, aged 20-30 years, participated in three types of exercise (I, II, III) of equal duration (20 min) and total external work output (120-180 kJ) separated by ten days of rest. Exercises consisted of seven sets of squats with barbells on the shoulders (I; Maximal Power Output Wmax = 600-900 W), continuous cycling at 50 rev X min-1 (II; Wmax = 100-150 W) and seven bouts of intermittent cycling at 70 rev X min-1 (III; Wmax = 300-450 W). Plasma cortisol, glucagon and lactate increased significantly (… Show more

“…On the other hand, significant GH rise between rest, and the exercise period observed in both groups, is justified by GH participation in mobilisation of energetic substrates during exercise -FFA, activation of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. This action can thus be important not only during prolonged exercise (as other authors suggest), [6,17,31,32,33,34], but also during short exercises (intense, anaerobic).…”

“…The higher the intensity and the longer the duration, the greater the response (Lac and Berthon 2000;Port 1991;. The adrenal response is also stronger for intermittent anaerobic versus continuous aerobic exercise (Jensen et al 1991;Vanhelder et al 1985), which is the case in rugby. The psychological constraint associated with the situation of competition reinforces this cortisol response (Filaire et al 1997;Passelergue et al 1995).…”

“…Although overall exercise intensity was similar during the intermittent and continuous exercise, the work-period intensity during intermittent exercise was almost twice the level of the exercise intensity employed during the continuous exercise. The higher (%twofold) treadmill speed used during intermittent exercise would be expected to result in a more rapid glycogenolytic rate in type I skeletal muscle ®bres and a larger recruitment of type II ®bres (Essen 1978;Vollestad and Blom 1985), dierences in circulating catecholamine (Jezova et al 1985), glucagon, growth hormone and cortisol levels (Vanhelder et al 1985) as well as higher levels of muscle glucose uptake (Wahren et al 1971). In turn, these elements are likely to contribute to the contrast in the metabolic response between the two exercise protocols.…”
