Abstract

The in vitro oxygen consumption of selected tissues from trained and nontrained male albino rats was determined using the Warburg technique. The training program used was an endurance type previously shown capable of producing a “trained” animal. The results showed no significant difference between trained and nontrained rats in the respiration of skeletal muscle, liver, diaphragm, and spleen tissues. This finding indicates that the enhanced ability of the trained organism to respond to exercise is not brought about by alterations in basal tissue metabolism, and that possible alterations in metabolic pathways or enzyme activities with training should be investigated.
