Abstract
Potential differences were assessed between the dominant (D) and non-dominant (ND) forearms of sedentary subjects during anaerobic exercise. Subjects performed voluntary concentric contractions of D and ND forearm muscle during a series of three high-intensity (60% of the maximal voluntary contraction force (MVC)) exercise bouts. The time-dependent changes in intracellular pH (pH i), Pi, and PCr concentrations, and their relation to muscular work were examined using 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) techniques, and revealed that D forearm metabolic kinetics in sedentary individuals are improved during repetitive high-intensity exercise compared to their respective ND forearm muscle. We postulate that the more regular and preferential utilization of the D limb leads to a “trained-like” condition.
