To investigate the influences of high-intensity training and/or a single bout of exercise on
in vitro Ca
2+-sequestering function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), the rats were subjected to 8 weeks of an interval running program (final training : 2.5-min running×4 sets per day, 50 m/min at 10% incline). Following training, both trained and untrained rats were run at a 10% incline, 50 m/min for 2.5 min or to exhaustion. SR Ca
2+-ATPase activity, SR Ca
2+-uptake rate and carbonyl group contents comprised in SR Ca
2+-ATPase activity were examined in the superficial portions of the gastrocnemius and vastus lateralis muscles. For rested muscles, a 12.7% elevation in the SR Ca
2+-uptake rate was induced by training. Training led to improved running performance (avg time to exhaustion : untrained-191.1 vs trained-270.9 sec ;
P<0.01). Regardless of training status, a single bout of exercise caused progressive reductions in SR Ca
2+-ATPase activity and SR Ca
2+-uptake rate. Increases in carbonyl content only occurred after exhaustive exercise (
P<0.05). At both point of 2.5-min and exhaustion, no differences existed in SR Ca
2+-sequestering capacity and carbonyl content between untrained and trained muscles. These findings confirm the previous findings that oxidative modifications may account, at least partly, for exercise-induced deterioration in SR Ca
2+-sequestering function ; and raise the possibility that in the final phase of acute exercise, high-intensity training could delay the progression of protein oxidation of SR Ca
2+-ATPase.
