Effects of high-intensity sprint training on skeletal muscle blood flow in rats

The regional blood flow response (via radioactive microspheres) was determined for female rats after 6 wk of high-intensity sprint training (HIST) or limited cage activity as the animals exercised at work loads that would elicit maximal O2 uptake. Blood flow to the different organs of the abdominal region was greatly reduced during maximal exercise conditions, and the magnitude of the reduction appeared to be similar for both the HIST group of rats and their sedentary (SED) control counterparts. Of the 20 different hindlimb muscles examined in the present study, blood flow to the soleus, plantaris, gastrocnemius, flexor hallicus longus, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, biceps femoris, and adductor magnus and brevis muscles was significantly greater (P less than 0.05) in the HIST rats during maximal exercise conditions than in the SED control rats. Correspondingly, blood flow to the total hindlimb during maximal exercise was also significantly greater in the HIST rats than in the SED control rats [240 +/- 18 vs. 192 +/- 15 (SE) ml.min-1.100 g-1]. These results support the contention that the increase in maximal cardiac output that is produced by HIST in the rat is primarily directed toward the working skeletal muscle and not toward the organs found in the abdominal region. We conclude from these experiments that HIST will produce significant adaptations in central cardiac function and skeletal muscle blood flow in the rat.
