Abstract
Introduction Ca2+ regulatory excitation-contraction coupling properties are key topics of interest in the development of work-related muscle myalgia and may constitute an underlying cause of muscle pain and loss of force generating capacity. Method A well-established rat model of high repetition high force (HRHF) work was used to investigate if such exposure leads to an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and changes in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicle Ca2+ uptake and release rates. Result Six weeks exposure of rats to HRHF increased indicators of fatigue, pain behaviors, and [Ca2+]i, the latter implied by around 50-100% increases in pCam, as well as in the Ca2+ handling proteins RyR1 and Casq1 accompanied by an ∼10% increased SR Ca2+ uptake rate in extensor and flexor muscles compared to those of control rats. This demonstrated a work-related altered myocellular Ca2+ regulation, SR Ca2+ handling, and SR protein expression. Discussion These disturbances may mirror intracellular changes in early stages of human work-related myalgic muscle. Increased uptake of Ca2+ into the SR may reflect an early adaptation to avoid a sustained detrimental increase in [Ca2+]i similar to the previous findings of deteriorated Ca2+ regulation and impaired function in fatigued human muscle.

Abstract
PURPOSE To outline how hypoxia profoundly affects neuronal functionality and thus compromise exercise-performance. METHODS Investigations using electroencephalography (EEG) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) detecting neuronal changes at rest and those studying fatiguing effects on whole-body exercise performance in acute (AH) and chronic hypoxia (CH) were evaluated. RESULTS At rest during very early hypoxia (<1-h), slowing of cerebral neuronal activity is evident despite no change in corticospinal excitability. As time in hypoxia progresses (3-h), increased corticospinal excitability becomes evident; however, changes in neuronal activity are unknown. Prolonged exposure (3-5 d) causes a respiratory alkalosis which modulates Na+ channels, potentially explaining reduced neuronal excitability. Locomotor exercise in AH exacerbates the development of peripheral-fatigue; as the severity of hypoxia increases, mechanisms of peripheral-fatigue become less dominant and CNS hypoxia becomes the predominant factor. The greatest central-fatigue in AH occurs when SaO2 is ≤75%, a level that coincides with increasing impairments in neuronal activity. CH does not improve the level of peripheral-fatigue observed in AH; however, it attenuates the development of central-fatigue paralleling increases in cerebral O2 availability and corticospinal excitability. CONCLUSIONS The attenuated development of central-fatigue in CH might explain, the improvements in locomotor exercise-performance commonly observed after acclimatisation to high altitude.

Abstract
AIM The mechanisms underlying the fatigue that occurs in human muscle following sustained activity are thought to reside in one or more of the excitation-contraction coupling (E-C coupling) processes. This study investigated the association between the changes in select E-C coupling properties and the impairment in force generation that occurs with prolonged cycling. METHODS Ten volunteers with a peak aerobic power (VO(2peak)) of 2.95 ± 0.27 L min(-1) (mean ± SE), exercised for 2 h at 62 ± 1.3%. Quadriceps function was assessed and tissue properties (vastus lateralis) were measured prior to (E1-pre) and following (E1-post) exercise and on three consecutive days of recovery (R1, R2 and R3). RESULTS While exercise failed to depress the maximal activity (V(max) ) of the Na(+) ,K(+) -ATPase (P = 0.10), reductions (P < 0.05) were found at E1-post in V(max) of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) -ATPase (-22%), Ca(2+) -uptake (-26%) and phase 1(-33%) and 2 (-38%) Ca(2+) -release. Both V(max) and Ca(2+) -release (phase 2) recovered by R1, whereas Ca(2+) -uptake and Ca(2+) -release (phase 1) remained depressed (P < 0.05) at R1 and at R1 and R2 and possibly R3 (P < 0.06) respectively. Compared with E1-pre, fatigue was observed (P < 0.05) at 10 Hz electrical stimulation at E1-post (-56%), which persisted throughout recovery. The exercise increased (P < 0.05) overall content of the Na(+), K(+)-ATPase (R1, R2 and R3) and the isoforms β2 (R1, R2 and R3) and β3 (R3), but not β1 or the α-isoforms (α1, α2 and α3). CONCLUSION These results suggest a possible direct role for Ca(2+)-release in fatigue and demonstrate a single exercise session can induce overlapping perturbations and adaptations (particularly to the Na(+), K(+)-ATPase).

Abstract
This study investigated the hypothesis that adaptations would occur in the sarcoplasmic reticulum in vastus lateralis soon after the onset of aerobic-based training consistent with reduced Ca2+-cycling potential. Tissue samples were extracted prior to (0 days) and following 3 and 6 days of cycling performed for 2 h at 60%–65% of peak aerobic power (VO2peak) in untrained males (VO2peak = 47 ± 2.3 mL·kg–1·min–1; mean ± SE, n = 6) and assessed for changes (nmol·mg protein–1·min–1) in maximal Ca2+-ATPase activity (Vmax), Ca2+-uptake, and Ca2+-release (phase 1 and phase 2) as well as the sarcoplasmic (endoplasmic) reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) isoforms. Training resulted in reductions (p < 0.05) in SERCA1a at 6 days (–14%) but not at 3 days. For SERCA2a, reductions (p < 0.05) were also noted only at 6 days (–7%). For Vmax, depressions (p < 0.05) were found at 6 days (172 ± 11) but not at 3 days (176 ± 13; p < 0.10) compared with 0 days (192 ± 11). These changes were accompanied by a lower (p < 0.05) Ca2+-uptake at both 3 days (–39%) and 6 days (–48%). A similar pattern was found for phase 1 Ca2+-release with reductions (p < 0.05) of 37% observed at 6 days and 23% (p = 0.21) at 3 days of training, respectively. In a related study using the same training protocol and participant characteristics, microphotometric determinations of Vmax indicated reductions (p < 0.05) in type I at 3 days (–27%) and at 6 days (–34%) and in type IIA fibres at 6 days (–17%). It is concluded that in response to aerobic-based training, sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-cycling potential is reduced by adaptations that occur soon after training onset.

Abstract
AIM We examined whether structural alterations to the adenine nucleotide binding site (ANBS) within sarcoplasmic (endo) reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) would account for contraction-induced changes in the catalytic activity of the enzyme as assessed in vitro. METHODS Repetitive contractions were induced in rat gastrocnemius by electrical nerve stimulation. Measurements of sarcoplasmic reticulum properties were performed on control and stimulated muscles immediately after or at 30 min after the cessation of 5-min stimulation. In order to examine the properties at the ANBS, the binding capacity of SERCA to fluorescence isothiocyanate (FITC), a competitive inhibitor at the ANBS, was analysed in microsomes. RESULTS Short-term electrical stimulation evoked a 23.9% and 32.6% decrease (P < 0.05) in SERCA activity and in the FITC binding capacity, respectively, in the superficial region of the muscle. Whereas SERCA activity reverted to normal levels during 30-min recovery, a restoration of the FITC binding capacity did not occur. CONCLUSION The discordant changes between the enzyme activity and the FITC binding suggest that, at least during recovery after exercise, changes in SERCA activity may not correlate closely with structural alterations to the ANBS within the enzyme.

Abstract
To find a new parameter indicating muscle fitness in Thoroughbred horses, we examined
time-dependent recovery of glycogen content and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)
Ca2+-ATPase activity of skeletal muscle after intensive treadmill running.
Two repeated 50-sec running sessions (13 m/sec) were performed on a flat treadmill
(approximately 90%VO2max). Muscle samples of the middle gluteal muscle were
taken before exercise (pre) and 1 min, 20 min, 60 min, and 24 hr after exercise. Muscle
fiber type composition was determined in the pre muscle samples by immunohistochemical
staining with monoclonal antibody to myosin heavy chain. SR Ca2+-ATPase
activity of the muscle and glycogen content of each muscle fiber type were determined with
biochemical analysis and quantitative histochemical staining, respectively. As compared to
the pre value, the glycogen content of each muscle fiber type was reduced by 15–27% at 1
min, 20 min, and 60 min after the exercise and recovered to the pre value at 24 hr after
exercise test. These results indicate that 24 hr is enough time to recover glycogen
content after short-term intensive exercise. The mean value of the SR
Ca2+-ATPase activity showed a slight decrease (not significant) immediately
after exercise, and complete recovery at 60 min after exercise. There were no significant
relationship between the changes in glycogen content of each muscle fiber type and SR
Ca2+-ATPase. Although further studies are needed, SR Ca2+-ATPase
is not a useful parameter to detect muscle fitness, at least in Thoroughbred horses.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that alterations in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-cycling properties would occur in skeletal muscle in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To investigate this hypothesis, tissue samples were obtained from the vastus lateralis of 8 patients with COPD [age 65.6 ± 3.2 yr; forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) = 44 ± 2%; mean ± SE] and 10 healthy age-matched controls (CON, age 67.5 ± 2.5 yr; FEV1/FVC = 77 ± 2%), and homogenates were analyzed for a wide range of SR properties. Compared with CON, COPD displayed (in μmol·g protein−1·min−1) a 16% lower maximal Ca2+-ATPase activity [maximal velocity ( Vmax), 158 ± 10 vs. 133 ± 7, P < 0.05] and a 17% lower Ca2+uptake (4.65 ± 0.039 vs. 3.85 ± 0.26, P < 0.05) that occurred in the absence of differences in Ca2+release. The lower Vmaxin COPD was also accompanied by an 11% lower ( P < 0.05) Ca2+sensitivity, as measured by the Hill coefficient (defined as the relationship between Ca2+-ATPase activity and free cytosolic Ca2+concentration for 10–90% Vmax). For the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) isoforms, SERCA1a was 16% higher ( P < 0.05) and SERCA2a was 14% lower ( P < 0.05) in COPD. It is concluded that moderate to severe COPD results in abnormalities in SR Ca2+-ATPase properties that cannot be explained by changes in the SERCA isoform phenotypes. The reduced catalytic properties of SERCA in COPD suggest a disturbance in Ca2+cycling, possibly resulting in impairment in Ca2+-mediated mechanical function and/or second messenger regulated processes.

Abstract
This study investigated the responses in substrate- and energy-based properties to repetitive days of prolonged submaximal exercise and recovery. Twelve untrained volunteers (Vo(2)(peak) = 44.8 +/- 2.0 ml.kg(-1).min(-1), mean +/- SE) cycled ( approximately 60 Vo(2)(peak)) on three consecutive days followed by 3 days of recovery. Tissue samples were extracted from the vastus lateralis both pre- and postexercise on day 1 (E1), day 3 (E3), and during recovery (R1, R2, R3) and were analyzed for changes in metabolism, substrate, and enzymatic and transporter responses. For the metabolic properties (mmol/kg(-1) dry wt), exercise on E1 resulted in reductions (P < 0.05) in phosphocreatine (PCr; 80 +/- 1.9 vs. 41.2 +/- 3.0) and increases (P < 0.05) in inosine monophosphate (IMP; 0.13 +/- 0.01 vs. 0.61 +/- 0.2) and lactate (3.1 +/- 0.4 vs. 19.2 +/- 4.3). At E3, both IMP and lactate were lower (P < 0.05) during exercise. For the transporters, the experimental protocol resulted in a decrease (P < 0.05) in glucose transporter-1 (GLUT1; 29% by R1), an increase in GLUT4 (29% by E3), and increases (P < 0.05) for both monocarboxylate transporters (MCT) (for MCT1, 23% by R2 and for MCT4, 18% by R1). Of the mitochondrial and cytosolic enzyme activities examined, cytochrome c oxidase (COX), and hexokinase were both reduced (P < 0.05) by exercise at E1 and in the case of hexokinase and phosphorylase by exercise on E3. With the exception at COX, which was lower (P < 0.05) at R1, no differences in enzyme activities existed at rest between E, E3, and recovery days. Results suggest that the glucose and lactate transporters are among the earliest adaptive responses of substrate and metabolic properties studied to the sudden onset of regular low-intensity exercise.

Abstract
The early plasticity of vastus lateralis Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase to the abrupt onset of prolonged submaximal cycling was studied in 12 untrained participants (Vo(2 peak) 44.8 +/- 2.0 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1), mean +/- SE) using a 6-day protocol (3 days of exercise plus 3 days of recovery). Tissue samples were extracted prior to (Pre) and following exercise (Post) on day 1 (E1) and day 3 (E3) and on each day of recovery (R1, R2, R3) and analyzed for changes in maximal protein (beta(max)) (vanadate-facilitated [(3)H]ouabain binding), alpha- and beta-isoform concentration (quantitative immunoblotting) and maximal Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity (V(max)) (3-O-methylfluorescein K(+)-stimulated phosphatase assay). For beta(max) (pmol/g wet wt), an increase (P < 0.05) of 11.8% was observed at R1 compared with E1-Pre (340 +/- 14 vs 304 +/- 17). For the alpha-isoforms alpha(1), alpha(2), and alpha(3), increases (P < 0.05) of 46, 42, and 31% were observed at R1, respectively. For the beta-isoform, beta(1) and beta(2) increased (P < 0.05) by 19 and 28% at R1, whereas beta(3) increased (P < 0.05) by 18% at R2. With the exception of alpha(2) and alpha(3), the increases in the isoforms persisted at R3. Exercise resulted in an average decrease (P < 0.05) in V(max) by 14.3%. No differences were observed in V(max) at E1 - Pre and E3 - Pre or between R1, R2, and R3. It is concluded that 3 days of prolonged exercise is a powerful stimulus for the rapid upregulation of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase subunit isoforms. Contrary to our hypothesis, the increase in subunit expression is not accompanied by increases in the maximal catalytic activity.

Abstract
To examine the effects of repetitive bouts of heavy exercise on the maximal activities of enzymes representative of the major metabolic pathways and segments, 13 untrained volunteers [peak aerobic power (V̇o2 peak) = 44.3 ± 2.3 ml·kg−1·min−1] cycled at ∼91% V̇o2 peak for 6 min once per hour for 16 h. Maximal enzyme activities ( Vmax, mol·kg−1·protein·h−1) were measured in homogenates from tissue extracted from the vastus lateralis before and after exercise at repetitions 1 (R1), 2 (R2), 9 (R9), and 16 (R16). For the mitochondrial enzymes, exercise resulted in reductions ( P < 0.05) in cytochrome- c oxidase (COX, 14.6%), near significant reductions in malate dehydrogenase (4.06%; P = 0.06) and succinic dehydrogenase (4.82%; P = 0.09), near significant increases in β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (4.94%; P = 0.08), and no change in citrate synthase (CS, 2.88%; P = 0.37). For the cytosolic enzymes, exercise reduced ( P < 0.05) Vmax in hexokinase (Hex, 4.4%), creatine phosphokinase (9.0%), total phosphorylase (13.5%), phosphofructokinase (16.6%), pyruvate kinase (PK, 14.1%) and lactate dehydrogenase (10.7%). Repetition-dependent reductions ( P < 0.05) in Vmax were observed for CS (R1, R2 > R16), COX (R1, R2 > R16), Hex (1R, 2R > R16), and PK (R9 > R16). It is concluded that heavy exercise results in transient reductions in a wide range of enzymes involved in different metabolic functions and that in the case of selected enzymes, multiple repetitions of the exercise reduce average Vmax.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of prolonged exercise, with and without glucose supplementation, on metabolism and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-handling properties in working vastus lateralis muscle. Fifteen untrained volunteers [peak O2consumption (V̇o2peak) = 3.45 ± 0.17 l/min; mean ± SE] cycled at ∼60% V̇o2peakon two occasions, during which they were provided with either an artificially sweetened placebo beverage (NG) or a 6% glucose (G) beverage (∼1.00 g carbohydrate/kg body mass). Beverage supplementation started at 30 min of exercise and continued every 15 min thereafter. SR Ca2+handling, metabolic, and substrate responses were assessed in tissue extracted from the vastus lateralis at rest, after 30 min and 90 min of exercise, and at fatigue in both conditions. Plasma glucose during G was 15–23% higher ( P < 0.05) than those observed during NG following 60 min of exercise until fatigue. Cycle time to fatigue was increased ( P < 0.05) by ∼19% during G (137 ± 7 min) compared with NG (115 ± 6 min). Prolonged exercise reduced ( P < 0.05) maximal Ca2+-ATPase activity (−18.4%), SR Ca2+uptake (−27%), and both Phase 1 (−22.2%) and Phase 2 (−34.2%) Ca2+-release rates during NG. The exercise-induced reductions in SR Ca2+-cycling properties were not altered during G. The metabolic responses to exercise were all unaltered by glucose supplementation, since no differences in respiratory exchange ratios, carbohydrate and lipid oxidation rates, and muscle metabolite and glycogen contents were observed between NG and G. These results indicate that the maintenance of blood glucose homeostasis by glucose supplementation is without effect in modifying the muscle metabolic, endogenous glycogen, or SR Ca2+-handling responses.

Abstract
The study investigated the hypothesis that three consecutive days of prolonged cycle exercise would result in a sustained reduction in the Ca(2+)-cycling properties of the vastus lateralis in the absence of changes in the sarcoplasmic (endoplasmic) reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) protein. Tissue samples were obtained at preexercise (Pre) and postexercise (Post) on day 1 (E1) and day 3 (E3) and during recovery day 1 (R1), day 2 (R2), and day 3 (R3) in 12 active but untrained volunteers (age 19.2 +/- 0.27 yr; mean +/- SE) and analyzed for changes (nmol.mg protein(-1).min(-1)) in maximal Ca(2+)-ATPase activity (V(max)), Ca(2+) uptake and Ca(2+) release (phase 1 and phase 2), and SERCA isoform expression (SERCA1a and SERCA2a). At E1, reductions (P < 0.05) from Pre to Post in V(max) (150 +/- 7 vs. 121 +/- 7), Ca(2+) uptake (7.79 +/- 0.28 vs. 5.71 +/- 0.33), and both phases of Ca(2+) release (phase 1, 20.3 +/- 1.3 vs. 15.2 +/- 1.1; phase 2, 7.70 +/- 0.60 vs. 4.99 +/- 0.48) were found. In contrast to V(max), which recovered at Pre E3 and then remained stable at Post E3 and throughout recovery, Ca(2+) uptake remained depressed (P < 0.05) at E3 Pre and Post and at R1 as did phase 2 of Ca(2+) release. Exercise resulted in an increase (P < 0.05) in SERCA1a (14% at R2) but not SERCA2a. It is concluded that rapidly adapting mechanisms protect V(max) following the onset of regular exercise but not Ca(2+) uptake and Ca(2+) release.

Abstract
To evaluate the effects of high-intensity training and/or a single bout of exercise on in vitro function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), the rats were subjected to 8 weeks of interval running program (final training: 2.5-min running x 4 sets per day, 50 m/min at 10% incline). Following training, SR function, i.e., Ca2+-ATPase activity and Ca2+-uptake and release rates, was examined in homogenates of the superficial region of the vastus lateralis muscle from rats subjected to a single bout of treadmill running (50 m/min at 10% incline) for 2.5 min or to exhaustion. Training brought about a 12.4% increase (P < 0.05) in SR Ca2+-uptake rate in rested muscles. This change was not accompanied by alterations in Ca2+-ATPase activity, Ca2+-release rate, Ca2+ dependence of enzyme and protein contents of Ca2+-ATPase and ryanodine receptor. A single bout of high-intensity exercise to exhaustion evoked significant reductions (P < 0.05) in SR function, irrespective of whether or not the animals were trained. For 2.5-min run and exhausted rats, no differences existed between SR functions of untrained and trained muscles. These data suggest that high-intensity training may be capable of enhancing SR Ca2+-sequestering ability, and may not protect against decreasing SR function with high-intensity exercise.

Abstract
We hypothesized that severe hypoxia limits exercise performance via decreased contractility of limb locomotor muscles. Nine male subjects [mean ± SE maximum O2 uptake (V̇o2 max) = 56.5 ± 2.7 ml·kg−1·min−1] cycled at ≥90% V̇o2 max to exhaustion in normoxia [NORM-EXH; inspired O2 fraction (FiO2) = 0.21, arterial O2 saturation (SpO2) = 93 ± 1%] and hypoxia (HYPOX-EXH; FiO2 = 0.13, SpO2 = 76 ± 1%). The subjects also exercised in normoxia for a time equal to that achieved in hypoxia (NORM-CTRL; SpO2 = 96 ± 1%). Quadriceps twitch force, in response to supramaximal single (nonpotentiated and potentiated 1 Hz) and paired magnetic stimuli of the femoral nerve (10–100 Hz), was assessed pre- and at 2.5, 35, and 70 min postexercise. Hypoxia exacerbated exercise-induced peripheral fatigue, as evidenced by a greater decrease in potentiated twitch force in HYPOX-EXH vs. NORM-CTRL (−39 ± 4 vs. −24 ± 3%, P < 0.01). Time to exhaustion was reduced by more than two-thirds in HYPOX-EXH vs. NORM-EXH (4.2 ± 0.5 vs. 13.4 ± 0.8 min, P < 0.01); however, peripheral fatigue was not different in HYPOX-EXH vs. NORM-EXH (−34 ± 4 vs. −39 ± 4%, P > 0.05). Blood lactate concentration and perceptions of limb discomfort were higher throughout HYPOX-EXH vs. NORM-CTRL but were not different at end-exercise in HYPOX-EXH vs. NORM-EXH. We conclude that severe hypoxia exacerbates peripheral fatigue of limb locomotor muscles and that this effect may contribute, in part, to the early termination of exercise.

Abstract
We employed a glycogen-depleting session of exercise followed by a low-carbohydrate (CHO) diet to investigate modifications that occur in muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-cycling properties compared with low-CHO diet alone. SR properties were assessed in nine untrained males [peak aerobic power (V̇o2 peak) = 43.6 ± 2.6 (SE) ml·kg−1·min−1] during prolonged cycle exercise to fatigue performed at ∼58% V̇o2 peakafter 4 days of low-CHO diet (Lo CHO) and after glycogen-depleting exercise plus 4 days of low-CHO (Ex+Lo CHO). Compared with Lo CHO, Ex+Lo CHO resulted in 12% lower ( P < 0.05) resting maximal Ca2+-ATPase activity ( Vmax= 174 ± 12 vs. 153 ± 10 μmol·g protein−1·min−1) and smaller reduction in Vmaxinduced during exercise. A similar effect was observed for Ca2+uptake. The Hill coefficient, defined as slope of the relationship between cytosolic free Ca2+concentration and Ca2+-ATPase activity, was higher ( P < 0.05) at rest (2.07 ± 0.15 vs. 1.90 ± 0.10) with Ex+Lo CHO, an effect that persisted throughout the exercise. The coupling ratio, defined as the ratio of Ca2+uptake to Vmax, was 23–30% elevated ( P < 0.05) at rest and during the first 60 min of exercise with Ex+Lo CHO. The ∼27 and 34% reductions ( P < 0.05) in phase 1 and phase 2 Ca2+release, respectively, observed during exercise with Lo CHO were not altered by Ex+Lo CHO. These results indicate that when prolonged exercise precedes a short-term Lo CHO diet, Ca2+sequestration properties and efficiency are improved compared with those during Lo CHO alone.

Abstract
The effects of exercise and diet on sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-cycling properties in female vastus lateralis muscle were investigated in two groups of women following four different conditions. The conditions were 4 days of a low-carbohydrate (Lo CHO) and glycogen-depleting exercise plus a Lo CHO diet (Ex + Lo CHO) (experiment 2) and 4 days of normal CHO (Norm CHO) and glycogen-depleting exercise plus Norm CHO (Ex + Norm CHO) (experiment 1). Peak aerobic power (Vo2peak)) was 38.1 +/- 1.4 (SE); n = 9 and 35.6 +/- 1.4 ml.kg(-1).min(-1); n = 9, respectively. Sarcoplasmic reticulum properties measured in vitro in homogenates (micromol.g protein(-1).min(-1)) indicated exercise-induced reductions (P < 0.05) in maximal Ca(2+)-ATPase activity (0 > 30, 60 min > fatigue), Ca(2+) uptake (0 > 30 > 60 min, fatigue), and Ca(2+) release, both phase 1 (0, 30 > 60 min, fatigue) and phase 2 (0 > 30, 60 min, fatigue; 30 min > fatigue) in Norm CHO. Exercise was without effect in altering the Hill slope (n(H)), defined as the slope of relationship between Ca(2+)-ATPase activity and Ca(2+) concentration. No differences were observed between Norm CHO and Ex+Norm CHO. Compared with Norm CHO, Lo CHO resulted in a lower (P < 0.05) Ca(2+) uptake, phase 1 Ca(2+) release (30 min), and n(H). Ex + Lo CHO resulted in a greater (P < 0.05) Ca(2+) uptake and n(H) compared with Lo CHO. The results demonstrate that Lo CHO alone can disrupt SR Ca(2+) cycling and that, with the exception of Ca(2+) release, a glycogen-depleting session of exercise before Lo CHO can reverse the effects.

Abstract
The hypothesis tested was that disturbances in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-cycling responses to exercise would associate with muscle glycogen reserves. Ten untrained males [peak O2 consumption (VO2 peak) = 3.41 +/- 0.20 (SE) l/min] performed a standardized cycle test (approximately 70% VO2 peak) on two occasions, namely, following 4 days of a high (Hi CHO)- and 4 days of a low (Lo CHO)-carbohydrate diet. Both Hi CHO and Lo CHO were preceded by a session of prolonged exercise designed to deplete muscle glycogen. SR Ca2+ cycling in crude homogenates prepared from vastus lateralis samples indicated higher (P < 0.05) Ca2+ uptake (microM x g protein(-1) x min(-1)) in Hi CHO compared with Lo CHO at 30 min (2.93 +/- 0.10 vs. 2.23 +/- 0.12) and at 67 min (2.77 +/- 0.16 vs. 2.10 +/- 0.12) of exercise, the point of fatigue in Lo CHO. Similar effects (P < 0.05) were noted between conditions for maximal Ca2+-ATPase (microM x g protein(-1) x min(-1)) at 30 min (142 +/- 8.5 vs. 107 +/- 5.0) and at 67 min (130 +/- 4.5 vs. 101 +/- 4.7). Both phase 1 and phase 2 Ca2+ release were 23 and 37% higher (P < 0.05) at 30 min of exercise and 15 and 34% higher (P < 0.05), at 67 min during Hi CHO compared with Lo CHO, respectively. No differences between conditions were observed at rest for any of these SR properties. Total muscle glycogen (mmol glucosyl units/kg dry wt) was higher (P < 0.05) in Hi CHO compared with Lo CHO at rest (+36%), 30 min (+53%), and at 67 min (+44%) of cycling. These results indicate that exercise-induced reductions in SR Ca2+-cycling properties occur earlier in exercise during low glycogen states compared with high glycogen states.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of reduced glycogen concentration on sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase activity in rat fast-twitch muscles. In the first experiment, the gastrocnemius (GAS) muscle from one leg was removed, followed by starvation for 24-72 h, after which the remaining GAS was removed. Intra-animal comparisons revealed that starvation caused a 25% reduction (P<0.05) in the glycogen concentration but no change in SR Ca(2+)-ATPase activity in the GAS. In the second experiment, the SR was purified from a mixture of the GAS and vastus lateralis muscles. In half of the samples obtained from each animal, glycogen was extracted from the SR by treatment with glucoamylase. Treatment resulted in a 94.1 and 70.2% decrease (P<0.01) in glycogen and glycogen phosphorylase, respectively, and a 41.5% increase (P<0.05) in a fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) binding to SR Ca(2+)-ATPase. On the other hand, SR Ca(2+)-ATPase activity and the affinity of the enzyme for ATP were unaltered. These results do not implicate depletion of muscle glycogen as a contributor to impaired SR Ca(2+)-ATPase activity as measured in vitro. Therefore, it is concluded that muscle glycogen does not influence exercise tolerance and work productivity in working muscles by modulating the structure of protein involved in Ca(2+) sequestering. Furthermore, it is suggested that the FITC binding assay may be inappropriate as a method for examining the mechanisms for the altered activity of SR Ca(2+)-ATPase.

Abstract
We investigated the hypothesis that muscles of different oxidative potential would display differences in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ handling responses to repetitive contractile activity and recovery. Repetitive activity was induced in two muscles of high oxidative potential, namely, soleus (SOL) and red gastrocnemius (RG), and in white gastrocnemius (WG), a muscle of low oxidative potential, by stimulation in adult male rats. Measurements of SR properties, performed in crude homogenates, were made on control and stimulated muscles at the start of recovery (R0) and at 25 min of recovery (R25). Maximal Ca2+-ATPase activity (Vmax, micromol x g protein(-1) x min(-1)) at R0 was lower in stimulated SOL (105 +/- 9 vs. 135 +/- 7) and RG (269 +/- 22 vs. 317 +/- 26) and higher (P < 0.05) in WG (795 +/- 32 vs. 708 +/- 34). At R25, Vmax remained lower (P < 0.05) in SOL and RG but recovered in WG. Ca2+ uptake, measured at 2,000 nM, was depressed (P < 0.05) in SOL and RG by 34 and 13%, respectively, in stimulated muscles at R0 and remained depressed (P < 0.05) at R25. In contrast, Ca2+ uptake was elevated (P < 0.05) in stimulated WG at R0 by 9% and remained elevated (P < 0.05) at R25. Ca2+ release, unaltered in SOL and RG at both R0 and R25, was increased (P < 0.05) in stimulated WG at both R0 and R25. We conclude that SR Ca2+-handling responses to repetitive contractile activity and recovery are related to the oxidative potential of muscle.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of prolonged exercise on muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+cycling properties and the metabolic responses with and without a session of exercise designed to reduce muscle glycogen reserves while on a normal carbohydrate (CHO) diet. Eight untrained males (VO2peak = 3.81 ± 0.12 L/min, mean ± SE) performed a standardized cycle-to-fatigue at 55% VO2peakwhile on a normal CHO diet (Norm CHO) and 4 days following prolonged exercise while on a normal CHO diet (Ex+Norm CHO). Compared to rest, exercise in Norm CHO to fatigue resulted in significant reductions (p < 0.05) in Ca2+uptake (3.17 ± 0.21 vs. 2.47 ± 0.12 µmol·(g protein)–1·min–1), maximal Ca2+ATPase activity (Vmax, 152 ± 12 vs. 119 ± 9 µmol·(g protein)–1·min–1) and both phase 1 (15.1 ± 0.98 vs. 13.1 ± 0.28 µmol·(g protein)–1·min–1) and phase 2 (6.56 ± 0.33 vs. 4.91 ± 0.28 µmol·(g protein)–1·min–1) Ca2+release in vastus lateralis muscle. No differences were observed between Norm CHO and Ex-Norm CHO in the response of these properties to exercise. Compared with Norm CHO, Ex+Norm CHO resulted in higher (p < 0.05) resting Ca2+uptake (3.17 ± 0.21 vs. 3.49 ± 0.24 µmol·(g protein)·min–1and higher ionophore ratio, defined as the ratio of Vmaxmeasured with and without the Ca2+-ionophore A23187, (2.3 ± 0.3 vs. 4.4 ± 0.3 µmol·(g protein)·min–1) at fatigue. No differences were observed between conditions in the concentration of muscle glycogen, the high-energy phosphates (ATP and PCr), or metabolites (Pi, Cr, and lactate). Ex+Norm CHO also failed to modify the exercise-induced changes in CHO and fat oxidation. We conclude that prolonged exercise to fatigue performed 4 days following glycogen-depleting exercise while on a normal CHO diet elevates resting Ca2+uptake and prevents increases in SR membrane permeability to Ca2+as measured by the ionophore ratio. Key words: Ca2+cycling, glycogen depletion, contractile activity, recovery.

Abstract
The repetition-dependent effects of a repetitive heavy exercise protocol previously shown to alter muscle mechanic behavior (Green HJ, Duhamel TA, Ferth S, Holloway GP, Thomas MM, Tupling AR, Rich SM, and Yau JE. J Appl Physiol 97: 2166-2175, 2004) on muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-transport properties, measured in vitro, were examined in 12 untrained volunteers [peak aerobic power (VO2(peak)) = 44.3 +/- 0.66 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)]. The protocol involved 6 min of cycle exercise performed at approximately 91% VO2(peak) once per hour for 16 h. Tissue samples were obtained from the vastus lateralis before (B) and after (A) exercise at repetitions 1 (R1), 2 (R2), 9 (R9), and 16 (R16). Reductions (P < 0.05) in maximal Ca2+-ATPase activity (Vmax) of 26 and 12% with exercise were only observed at R1 and R16, respectively. Vmax remained depressed (P < 0.05) at R2 (B) but not at R9 (B) and R16 (B). No changes were observed in two other kinetic properties of the enzyme, namely the Hill coefficient (defined as the slope of the relationship between Ca2+-ATPase activity and free Ca2+ concentration) and the Ca50 (defined as the free Ca2+ concentration needed to elicit 50% Vmax). Changes in Ca2+ uptake (measured at 2,000 nM) with exercise and recovery generally paralleled Vmax. The apparent coupling ratio, defined as the ratio between Ca2+ uptake and Vmax, was unaffected by the intermittent protocol. Reductions (P < 0.05) in phase 1 Ca2+ release (32%) were only observed at R1. No differences were observed between B and A for R2, R9, and R16 or between B and B for R1, R2, R9, and R16. The changes in phase 2 Ca2+ release were as observed for phase 1 Ca2+ release. It is concluded that the SR Ca2+-handling properties, in general, display rapid adaptations to repetitive exercise.
