Abstract

Introduction Nitric oxide (NO) production increases during aerobic exercises. Different factors (shear stress, catecholamine and hypoxia) are well known to increase NO production and all of them are additionally involved during sprint exercise. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore plasma stable end products of NO response to a Wingate-test. Synthesis This study showed that sprint exercise induces a 25% increase in stable end products of NO in physically active subjects of both sexes. Conclusion The increase in stable end products of NO was lower than the increase reported during aerobic exercises. Moreover, this study failed to show any gender difference.
