Physiologic response to endurance work as a function of prior exercise

B Gutin, J E Wilkerson, S M Horvath

    International Journal of Sports Medicine
    |May 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Prior exercise at 60% and 75% of VO2 max impairs endurance performance, while lower intensities show no significant effect. This suggests prior exercise is beneficial only for maximal or supramaximal tasks, not high-intensity endurance activities.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Sports Science
    • Human Performance

    Background:

    • Prior exercise (PE) can influence subsequent exercise performance.
    • The intensity and duration of PE are critical factors.
    • Understanding PE's impact on endurance tasks is important for training optimization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effect of varying intensities of prior exercise (PE) on subsequent endurance task (ET) performance.
    • To determine if PE at different percentages of VO2 max impacts oxygen consumption and lactate levels during ET.
    • To assess the utility of PE for different types of exercise intensities.

    Main Methods:

    • Five male subjects performed a 20-minute prior exercise (PE) at 30%, 45%, 60%, and 75% of VO2 max.
    • A 1-minute rest followed PE before initiating the endurance task (ET).

  • ET involved 10 minutes of walking at 75% VO2 max, followed by incremental speed increases until volitional exhaustion.

    • Main Results:

    • Endurance performance was significantly impaired following PE at 60% and 75% VO2 max.
    • Peak VO2 attained during ET was also significantly reduced after higher intensity PE.
    • While higher PE intensities reduced initial O2 deficits, plasma lactate levels at 8 minutes of ET were not significantly lower due to PE-induced lactate accumulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Prior exercise at high intensities (60-75% VO2 max) negatively impacts endurance performance and peak VO2.
    • PE may be beneficial for tasks requiring maximal or supramaximal efforts.
    • The value of PE for endurance tasks starting at high submaximal intensities is questionable.
