[Metabolic effects of intermittent exercise by patients with stage II arterial occlusive disease]
Abstract:
During intermittent exercise lasting six minutes with two minutes' rest the fluctuations in arterial and venous blood of lactate, pyruvate and blood gases as well as changes in the lactate pyruvate ratio were studied in eleven patients with intermittent claudication. There were significant differences of O2-extraction during intermittent exercise. The level of arterial lactate did not vary significantly. The highest venous lactate was found during the rest period. Significant differences in venous lactate, pyruvate and lactate pyruvate ratio were found between the first and second exercise periods. It is assumed that the rate of glycolysis is reduced during intermittent exercise.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
