Relationship of muscular fatigue to pH and diprotonated Pi in humans: a 31P-NMR study

J. R. Wilson, K. K. McCully, D. M. Mancini, B. Boden and B. Chance
Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia 19104.

Seventeen normal subjects performed maximal wrist flexion exercise with continuous monitoring of forearm muscle pH and H2PO4-, measured with 31P nuclear magnetic resonance, and muscle fatigue, expressed as a percentage of decline in maximal developed force. Four minutes of exercise (flexion duration = 1 s) reduced maximal developed force from 100 to 74 +/- 9% and pH from 6.99 +/- 0.04 to 6.17 +/- 0.33 and increased H2PO4- to 927 +/- 401% of resting levels. In all subjects, linear relationships were noted between developed force and pH (r = 0.90 +/- 0.08) and between developed force and H2PO4- (r = -0.89 +/- 0.08). Doubling the contraction duration to 2 s produced more rapid changes in developed force, pH, and H2PO4- but no change in the relationship of force to pH and H2PO4-. Two minutes of submaximal exercise before maximal exercise significantly reduced pH and increased H2PO4-. During subsequent maximal exercise, the relationship between developed force and H2PO4- remained unchanged. In contrast, the relationship between developed force and pH was shifted leftward; muscle pH remained lower throughout maximal exercise, and developed force remained comparable to that noted during control exercise. These observations suggest that muscle fatigue during intense short-term exercise is primarily caused by an increase in intramuscular H2PO4- rather than by a decrease in intramuscular pH.
