Creatine phosphate in fiber types of skeletal muscle before and after exhaustive exercise

Percutaneous muscle biopsies were obtained from the vastus lateralis of physically active men (n = 12) 1) at rest, 2) immediately after an exercise bout consisting of 30 maximal voluntary knee extensions of constant angular velocity (3.14 rad/s), and 3) 60 s after termination of exercise. Creatine phosphate (CP) content was analyzed in pools of freeze-dried fast-twitch (FT) and slow-twitch (ST) muscle fiber fragments, and ATP, CP, creatine, and lactate content were assayed in mixed pools of FT and ST fibers. CP content at rest was 82.7 +/- 11.2 and 73.1 +/- 9.5 (SD) mmol/kg dry wt in FT and ST fibers (P less than 0.05). After exercise the corresponding values were 25.4 +/- 19.8 and 29.7 +/- 14.4 mmol/kg dry wt. After 60 s of recovery CP increased (P less than 0.01) to 41.3 +/- 12.6 and 49.6 +/- 11.7 mmol/kg dry wt in FT and ST fibers, respectively. CP content after recovery, relative to initial level, was higher in ST compared with FT fibers (P less than 0.05). ATP content decreased (P less than 0.05) and lactate content rose to 67.4 +/- 28.3 mmol/kg dry wt (P less than 0.001) in response to exercise. It is concluded that basal CP content is higher in FT fibers than in ST fibers. CP content also appears to be higher in ST fibers after a 60-s recovery period after maximal short-term exercise. These data are consistent with the different metabolic profiles of FT and ST fibers.
