Pre-exercise food and heart rate during submaximal exercise.

S R Bird, S Hay

    British Journal of Sports Medicine
    |March 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pre-exercise meals significantly impact heart rate during exercise. Consuming glucose three hours before exercise (G3) resulted in the lowest heart rates, aiding in accurate maximal oxygen uptake predictions.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Sports Nutrition

    Background:

    • Accurate prediction of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) from submaximal heart rate data is crucial in exercise science.
    • The influence of pre-exercise nutrition on physiological responses, specifically heart rate, requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of different pre-exercise meals on heart rate during a multi-stage cycle ergometer test.
    • To determine optimal pre-exercise meal timing and composition for minimizing heart rate at given work rates.

    Main Methods:

    • 20 movement studies students underwent cycle ergometer tests.
    • Heart rates were measured across five conditions involving different pre-exercise meals (glucose or protein) and timings (1 or 3 hours prior), plus a fasting control.

    Main Results:

    • The glucose solution consumed 3 hours prior to exercise (G3) yielded the lowest heart rates across all work rates.
    • Highest heart rates were observed with glucose or protein ingested 1 hour before exercise (G1, P1).
    • G3 resulted in heart rates approximately 10.3 beats/min lower than G1 and P1.

    Conclusions:

    • Pre-exercise meal timing and composition significantly influence exercise heart rate.
    • Consuming a glucose solution 3 hours before exercise appears optimal for lowering heart rate during submaximal exercise.
    • These findings have critical implications for the accurate prediction of maximal oxygen uptake using submaximal heart rate data.
