The response of hypertrophied soleus and plantaris muscle of rats to endurance training was studied. Hypertrophy was produced by bilateral extirpation of the gastrocnemius muscle. A 13-wk training program of treadmill running initiated 30 days after removal of the gastrocnemius muscle accentuated (P less than 0.01) the hypertrophy. Succinate dehydrogenase activities of the enlarged muscles of sedentary rats were similar to those of normal animals, as were the increases associated with training. Phosphorylase and hexokinase activities were unaltered as a result of the experimental perturbations. Rates of glycogen depletion during exercise were lower (P less than 0.01) in the liver and soleus and plantaris muscles of endurance-trained animals. No difference existed in the rate of glycogen depletion of normal and hypertrophied muscle within the sedentary or trained groups. These data demonstrate that extensively hypertrophied muscle responds to training and exercise in a manner similar to that of normal muscle.
