The purpose of this study was to elucidate
1) the effects of endurance exercise training during hypoxia or
normoxia and of detraining on ventilatory and cardiovascular responses
to progressive isocapnic hypoxia and 2) whether the change in
the cardiovascular response to hypoxia is correlated to changes in the
hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) after training and detraining. Seven
men (altitude group) performed endurance training using a cycle
ergometer in a hypobaric chamber of simulated 4,500 m, whereas the
other seven men (sea-level group) trained at sea level (K. Katayama, Y. Sato, Y. Morotome, N. Shima, K. Ishida, S. Mori, and M. Miyamura.
J. Appl. Physiol. 86: 1805-1811, 1999). The
HVR, systolic and diastolic blood pressure responses
(
SBP/
SaO2,
DBP/
SaO2), and heart rate response
(
HR/
SaO2;
SaO2 is arterial oxygen saturation) to
progressive isocapnic hypoxia were measured before and after training
and during detraining.
SBP/
SaO2 increased
significantly in the altitude group and decreased significantly in the
sea-level group after training. The changed
SBP/
SaO2 in both groups was
restored during 2 wk of detraining, as were the changes in HVR, whereas
there were no changes in the
DBP/
SaO2 and
HR/
SaO2 throughout the
experimental period. The changes in
SBP/
SaO2 after training and
detraining were significantly correlated with those in HVR. These
results suggest that
SBP/
SaO2 to
progressive isocapnic hypoxia is variable after endurance training
during hypoxia and normoxia and after detraining, as is HVR, but
DBP/
SaO2 and
HR/
SaO2 are not. It also suggests
that there is an interaction between the changes in
SBP/
SaO2 and HVR after endurance training or detraining.
