Abstract
The purpose of present study was to investigate the relation between blood lactate and serum FFA during exercise recovery (35-40% Vo2max) and rest recovery after short-term supramaximal exercise accompanied by pronounced rise of blood lactate. Four male subjects performed supramaximal exercise, followed by two recovery treatments (exercise recovery and rest recovery) . Supramaximal exercise intensity was corresponded to appraximately 120% of Vo2max the respective subjects.
The result obtained were as follows
1) The lactate removal from the blood occured significantly faster exercise recovery than rest recovery.
2) In early stage of rest recovery, there was a pronounced rise in blood lactate and concurrent depress of serum FFA level, and thereafter serum FFA was keeping low level during recovery period.
3) In exercise recovery, there was a progressive decline of blood lactate and concurrent increment of serum FFA level as exercise progressed.
