Abstract
A fisiologia desportiva ainda é considerada uma especialidade relativamente nova no futebol. A figura do fisiologista desportivo e, conseqüentemente, sua função e formação, é desconhecida pela grande maioria daqueles que estão envolvidos nesta modalidade, não sabendo caracterizar o papel desse profissional numa equipe de futebol. É importante ressaltar que o especialista desta área trabalha diretamente junto ao fisicultor, cabendo a ele funções como: 1) trabalho em equipe passando informações constantes à comissão técnica sobre as condições funcionais dos jogadores; 2) avaliação sistemática dos atletas; 3) acompanhamento longitudinal das adaptações funcionais em decorrência do treinamento dos atletas e 4) capacidade de investigação e reflexão sobre diversos aspectos do futebol. Sendo assim, o fisiologista desportivo requer amplo conhecimento de metodologias científicas de avaliação funcional e treinamento desportivo, bem como o domínio específico de conceitos bioenergéticos direcionados para o futebol. Isso permite identificar o tipo de esforço e selecionar métodos adequados para o desenvolvimento do programa de treinamento do futebolista. Concluindo, o fisiologista desportivo, em sua essência, é sobretudo um profissional de saúde que tem cada vez mais uma função educativa. Ele contribui para melhorar a informação científica que toda a comunidade esportiva deve ter sobre diversos aspectos de saúde do corpo humano e, em particular, quando submetido à realização de exercícios.

Abstract
We have analyzed by (31)P MRS the relationship between kinetic parameters of phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery and end-of-exercise status under conditions of moderate and large acidosis induced by dynamic exercise. Thirteen healthy subjects performed muscular contractions at 0.47 Hz (low frequency, moderate exercise) and 0.85 Hz (high frequency, heavy exercise). The rate constant of PCr resynthesis (k(PCr)) varied greatly among subjects (variation coefficients: 43 vs. 57% for LF vs. HF exercises) and protocols (k(PCr) values: 1.3+/-0.5 min(-1) vs. 0.9+/-0.5 min(-1) for LF vs. HF exercises, P<0.03). The large intersubject variability can be captured into a linear relationship between k(PCr), the amount of PCr consumed ([PCr(2)]) and pH reached at the end of exercise (pH(end)) (k(PCr)=-3.3+0.7 pH(end)-0.03 [PCr(2)]; P=0.0007; r=0.61). This dual relationship illustrates that mitochondrial activity is affected by end-of-exercise metabolic status and allows reliable comparisons between control, diseased and trained muscles. In contrast to k(PCr), the initial rate of PCr recovery and the maximum oxidative capacity were always constant whatever the metabolic conditions of end-of-exercise and can then be additionally used in the identification of dysfunctions in the oxidative metabolic pathway.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of physical deconditioning on skeletal muscle's oxidative metabolism as evaluated by phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((31)P MRS). Twenty-seven subjects without muscle disease, representing a wide range of fitness levels, were evaluated with (31)P MRS. Spectra were obtained at rest and during recovery from in-magnet exercise. The data show a significant correlation between maximum resting metabolic equivalent (MET) score and the following (31)P MRS recovery indices: adenosine diphosphate and phosphocreatine recovery half-time; initial phosphocreatine resynthesis rate; calculated estimation of mitochondrial capacity; pH at end of exercise; and phosphocreatine depletion. In addition, significant differences between the deconditioned and conditioned group were found for all of the aforementioned recovery indices. At rest, only the inorganic phosphate concentration was significantly different between the two groups. These data indicate that physical activity level should be taken into account when assessing patients' oxidative metabolism with (31)P MRS.

Abstract
The reliability, relation to whole-body maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2max)), and force-level sensitivity of (31)P MRS markers of mitochondrial function were studied in 39 normal-weight women. Following 90 s isometric plantar-flexion exercises at 45, 70 and 100% of maximum voluntary contraction, skeletal muscle mitochondrial function was determined from the phosphocreatine recovery time constant (TC(PCr)), the ADP recovery time constant (TC(ADP)), and the rate of change in PCr during the first 14 s of recovery (OxPhos). VO(2max) was measured on a treadmill. Test-retest measurements were obtained in a subset of seven women. Overall, TC(PCr), TC(ADP) and OxPhos were reproducible for all exercises (coefficients of variation = 2.3-19.3%). With increasing force-level, TC(PCr) was prolonged (29.0 +/- 8.2, 31.9 +/- 9.0 and 35.4 +/- 9.5 s), OxPhos was increased (0.159 +/- 0.081, 0.247 +/- 0.090 and 0.310 +/- 0.114), and TC(ADP) was shortened (22.4 +/- 7.9, 21.3 +/- 6.2, and 19.5 +/- 6.7; p < 0.01). All MRS markers of mitochondrial function were correlated with VO(2max) (r = 0.41-0.72; p < 0.05). These results suggest that measurements of TC(PCr), TC(ADP) and OxPhos yield reproducible results that correlate with whole-body VO(2max) and that vary in force-level sensitivity.

Abstract
A recent report suggests that differences in aerobic capacity exist between concentric and eccentric muscle action in human muscle (T. W. Ryschon, M. D. Fowler, R. E. Wysong, A. R. Anthony, and R. S. Balaban. J. Appl. Physiol. 83: 867-874, 1997). This study compared oxidative response, in the form of phosphocreatine (PCr) resynthesis rates, with matched levels of metabolic strain (i.e., changes in ADP concentration or the free energy of ATP hydrolysis) in tibialis anterior muscle exercised with either muscle action in vivo (n = 7 subjects). Exercise was controlled and metabolic strain measured by a dynamometer and (31)P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy, respectively. Metabolic strain was varied to bring cytosolic ADP concentration up to 55 microM or decrease the free energy of ATP hydrolysis to -55 kJ/mol with no change in cytoplasmic pH. PCr resynthesis rates after exercise ranged from 31.9 to 462.5 and from 21.4 to 405.4 micromol PCr/s for concentric and eccentric action, respectively. PCr resynthesis rates as a function of metabolic strain were not significantly different between muscle actions (P > 0.40), suggesting that oxidative capacity is dependent on metabolic strain, not muscle action. Pooled data were found to more closely conform to previous biochemical measurements when a term for increasing oxidative capacity with metabolic strain was added to models of respiratory control.

Abstract
Young [n = 5, 30 +/- 5 (SD) yr] and middle-aged (n = 4, 58 +/- 4 yr) men and women performed single-leg knee-extension exercise inside a whole body magnetic resonance system. Two trials were performed 7 days apart and consisted of two 2-min bouts and a third bout continued to exhaustion, all separated by 3 min of recovery. 31P spectra were used to determine pH and relative concentrations of Pi, phosphocreatine (PCr), and beta-ATP every 10 s. The subjects consumed 0.3 g . kg-1 . day-1 of a placebo (trial 1) or creatine (trial 2) for 5 days before each trial. During the placebo trial, the middle-aged group had a lower resting PCr compared with the young group (35.0 +/- 5.2 vs. 39.5 +/- 5.1 mmol/kg, P < 0.05) and a lower mean initial PCr resynthesis rate (18.1 +/- 3.5 vs. 23.2 +/- 6.0 mmol . kg-1 . min-1, P < 0.05). After creatine supplementation, resting PCr increased 15% (P < 0.05) in the young group and 30% (P < 0.05) in the middle-aged group to 45.7 +/- 7.5 vs. 45.7 +/- 5.5 mmol/kg, respectively. Mean initial PCr resynthesis rate also increased in the middle-aged group (P < 0.05) to a level not different from the young group (24.3 +/- 3.8 vs. 24.2 +/- 3.2 mmol . kg-1 . min-1). Time to exhaustion was increased in both groups combined after creatine supplementation (118 +/- 34 vs. 154 +/- 70 s, P < 0.05). In conclusion, creatine supplementation has a greater effect on PCr availability and resynthesis rate in middle-aged compared with younger persons.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the recovery of muscle force generating capacity (FGC) of the lower limbs following a session of cycle exercise (CE). Fourteen male cyclists (mean +/- SD age 25 +/- 4 yrs and VO2max 65.8 +/- 5 ml x kg(-1)min(-1)) performed tests assessing lower limb muscle FGC at rest (pre-test), as well as 6 and 24 hrs following CE performed on a mechanically-braked cycle ergometer. The CE consisted of 30 min at a workload corresponding to the lactate (Dmax) threshold (+/-15 W), and four 60 s rides at 120% VO2max with one min rest between each ride. At the completion of the CE a 6 or 24 hr recovery period was initiated, after which, each subject's muscle FGC was measured. The analysis of lower limb muscle FGC included, (1) 6 s all-out cycle test; (2) a maximal isokinetic leg extension at 60, 120 and 180 degrees x s(-1); and (3) a maximal concentric squat jump. Statistical analysis showed that compared to pre-test levels, a significant reduction in both isokinetic peak torque at 60 degrees x s(-1) and isoinertial maximum force occurred after 6 hrs of recovery. Although not significant, reductions also occurred at 6 hrs of recovery in isokinetic peak torque at 120 and 180 degrees x s(-1), as well as maximum rate of force development (RFD) during the squat jumps. No significant differences were observed between isokinetic peak torque, maximum force or RFD pre-test and following the 24 hr recovery period, indicating these tests had returned to normal by this time. No significant differences were found between peak power (PP) during the 6 s cycle test, pre-test and following either 6 or 24 hrs of recovery. These findings confirm earlier research that maximal voluntary strength is reduced for at least 6 hours following exhaustive dynamic exercise. The reduction in muscle FGC should be considered when resistance training is scheduled after endurance exercise.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The ability to maximally generate active muscle tension during resistance training has been established to be a primary determinant for strength development. The influence of intrasession rest intervals may have a profound effect on strength gains subsequent to short-term high intensity training. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of rest interval on strength and functional performance after four weeks of isokinetic training. METHODS Fifteen healthy college aged individuals were randomly assigned to either a short rest interval group (group 1, n = 8) or a long rest interval group (group 2, n = 7). Subjects were evaluated for quadriceps and hamstring isokinetic strength at 60 (five repetitions) and 180 (30 repetitions) degrees/second and functional performance with the single leg hop for distance test. One leg of each subject was randomly assigned to a four week, three days/week isokinetic strength training programme for concentric knee extension and flexion performed at 90 degrees/second. Subjects in group 1 received a 40 second rest interval in between exercise sets, whereas subjects in group 2 received a 160 second rest period. RESULTS A two factor analysis of variance for the pre-test--post-test gain scores (%) showed significantly greater improvements for isokinetic hamstring total work and average power at 180 degrees/second for the trained limb of subjects in group 2 than their contralateral non-trained limb and the subjects in group 1. Significantly greater improvements for the single leg hop for distance were also found for the trained limbs of subjects in both groups as compared with the non-trained limbs. CONCLUSIONS The findings indicate that a relatively longer intrasession rest period resulted in a greater improvement in hamstring muscle strength during short term high intensity training.

Abstract
A critical requirement of submaximal exercise tests is the comparability of workload and associated metabolic stress between subjects. In this study, 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to estimate metabolic strain in the soleus muscle during dynamic, submaximal plantar flexion in which target torque was 10 and 15% of a maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). In 10 healthy, normally active adults, (PCr + Pi)/PCr, where PCr is phosphocreatine, was highly correlated with power output normalized to the volume of muscle in the plantar flexor compartment (r = 0.89, P < 0.001). The same variable was also correlated, although less strongly (r = 0.78, P < 0.001), with power normalized to plantar flexor cross-sectional area. These findings suggest that comparable levels of metabolic strain can be obtained in subjects of different size when the power output, or stress, for dynamic plantar flexion is selected as a function of plantar flexor muscle volume. In contrast, selecting power output as a function of MVC resulted in a positive linear relationship between (PCr + Pi)/PCr and the torque produced, indicating that metabolic strain was increasing rather than achieving constancy as a function of MVC. These findings provide new insight into the design of dynamic muscle contraction protocols aimed at detecting metabolic differences between subjects of different body size but having similar blood flow capacity and mitochondrial volume per unit of muscle.

Abstract
American football has been one of the most popular sports in North America within the past century and has recently received support and increased participation from European nations. Two of the biggest concerns regarding participation in American football are the high incidence of injury and the physical demand for preparation. A basic understanding of the physiological systems utilised in the sport of football is necessary in order to develop optimal training programmes geared specifically for preparation as well as the requirements of individual field positions. Previously, it has been assumed that football relies primarily on an anaerobic source of energy for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) resynthesis with approximately 90% coming from the phosphocreatine (PCr) energy system. In lieu of research conducted specifically with football players, it appears that the energy contribution from the anaerobic glycolytic pathway in this sport has been underestimated. The elevated blood lactate levels observed in football players following game participation cast doubt on this hypothesis. Identifying position specific characteristics may also enhance the development of training programmes based on the requirements of the different positions. It appears that offensive and defensive linemen are generally larger, have higher levels of percent body fat and have greater absolute strength scores than all other positions. Offensive backs, defensive backs and wide receivers tend to display the lowest percentages of body fat, lower absolute strength scores, fastest times over 5, 10, 40 and 300m and the highest relative VO2max values. Linebackers appeared to represent a transition group mid way between the backs and linemen for size, body composition, strength, speed and endurance as well as positional duties. Findings within the literature suggest that a lack of cardiovascular development of university and professional football players may prove to be a hindrance to performance with specific regards to thermal regulation. Additional aerobic conditioning as well as the reduction of percent body fat would not only enhance performance, but might play a key role in preventing injuries and allowing a smoother transition into life after football.
