摘要

This study tested the hypothesis that the (V) over dot(O2) kinetic response would be slowed in untrained (UT) but not trained (T) teenage participants whilst cycling at 115 rev min(-1) compared to 50 rev min(-1). Eight UT and seven T boys completed two square-wave transitions to very heavy-intensity exercise pedalling at 50 rev min(-1) and 115 rev min(-1). In UT at the higher pedal rate, the phase II (V) over dot(O2). tau was significantly (P < 0.01) slower (50 rev min(-1): 32 5 vs. 115 rev min(-1): 42 +/- 11 s) and the relative (V) over dot(O2) slow component was significantly (P < 0.01) elevated (50 rev min(-1): 10 +/- 3 vs. 115 rev min(-1): 16 +/- 5%). The phase II (V) over dot(O2) tau (50 rev min(-1): 26 +/- 4 vs. 115 rev min(-1): 22 +/- 6 s) and relative (V) over dot(O2) slow component (50 rev min(-1): 14 +/- 5 vs. 115 rev min(-1): 17 +/- 3%) were unaltered by pedal rate in T (P > 0.05). These data are consistent with the notion that (V) over dot(O2) kinetics are influenced by muscle fibre recruitment in youth but this effect is attenuated in endurance trained teenage boys.
