The effect of carbonic anhydrase inhibition with acetazolamide (Acz) on CO2 output (VCO2) and ventilation (VE) kinetics was examined during moderate- and heavy-intensity exercise. Seven men [24 +/- 1 (SE) yr] performed cycling exercise during control (Con) and Acz (10 mg/kg body wt iv) sessions. Each subject performed step transitions (6 min) in work rate from 0 to 100 W [below ventilatory threshold (VET)]. VE and gas exchange were measured breath by breath. The time constant (tau) was determined for exercise VET by using a three-component model (fit from the start of exercise). VCO2 kinetics were slower in Acz (VET, MRT = 75 +/- 10 s) than Con (VET, MRT = 54 +/- 7 s). During VET kinetics were faster in Acz (MRT = 85 +/- 17 s) than Con (MRT = 106 +/- 16 s). Carbonic anhydrase inhibition slowed VCO2 kinetics during both moderate- and heavy-intensity exercise, demonstrating impaired CO2 elimination in the nonsteady state of exercise. The slowed VE kinetics in Acz during exercise

No evidence of improvements in energy metabolism after 1 week of nitrate and citrulline co-supplementation in elite rowers.

Article Synopsis
  • Citrulline (CIT) and beetroot extract (BR) supplements were studied for their effects on exercise performance and metabolic outcomes in elite rowers, focusing on oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, energy expenditure, and efficiency.
  • A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial with 20 elite rowers was conducted, comparing effects after a week of supplementation with placebo, BR, and combined BR-CIT.
  • The results indicated no significant differences in metabolic measurements like energy expenditure and substrate utilization between the groups, suggesting that longer durations or higher doses of supplementation may be needed to see any benefits in metabolic outcomes.

A novel method for determining ventilatory and gas exchange dynamics during exercise: the "chirp" waveform.

Quantitating exercise ventilatory and gas exchange dynamics affords insights into physiological control processes and cardiopulmonary dysfunction. We designed a novel waveform, the chirp waveform, to efficiently extract moderate-intensity exercise response dynamics. In the chirp waveform, work rate fluctuates sinusoidally with constant amplitude as sinusoidal period decreases progressively from ∼8.

Respiratory gas kinetics in patients with congestive heart failure during recovery from peak exercise.

Background: Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPX) is essential for the assessment of exercise capacity for patients with Chronic Heart Failure (CHF). Respiratory gas and hemodynamic parameters such as Ventilatory Efficiency (VE/VCO slope), peak oxygen uptake (peak VO), and heart rate recovery are established diagnostic and prognostic markers for clinical populations. Previous studies have suggested the clinical value of metrics related to respiratory gas collected during recovery from peak exercise, particularly recovery time to 50% (T1/2) of peak VO.

Background: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) offers comprehensive right ventricular (RV) evaluation in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Emerging four-dimensional (4D) flow CMR allows visualization and quantification of intracardiac flow components and calculation of phasic blood kinetic energy (KE) parameters but it is unknown whether these parameters are associated with cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET)-assessed exercise capacity, which is a surrogate measure of survival in PAH. We compared 4D flow CMR parameters in PAH with healthy controls, and investigated the association of these parameters with RV remodelling, RV functional and CPET outcomes.

Along with impaired aerobic capacity, increased slope of the relationship between ventilation (V) and pulmonary CO output (VCO), i.e., V-VCO slope is a common finding in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA), which suggests ventilatory inefficiency.
