The dynamics of pulmonary O2 uptake (VO2) during the on-transient of high-intensity exercise depart from mono-exponentiality as a result of a "slow-component" whose mechanisms remain conjectural. Progressive recruitment of glycolytic muscle fibres, with slow O2 utilisation kinetics and low efficiency has, however, been suggested as a mechanism. The demonstration of high- and low-pH components of the exercising skeletal muscle 31P MR spectrum (inorganic phosphate (Pi) peak) at high work rates (thought to be reflective of differences between oxidative and glycolytic muscle fibers), is also consistent with this conjecture. We therefore investigated the dynamics of VO2 (using a turbine and mass spectrometry) and intramuscular [ATP], [PCr], [Pi] and pH - estimated from the 31P MR spectrum. Eleven healthy males performed prone square-wave high-intensity knee-extensor exercise in the bore of a whole-body MR spectrometer. A VO2 slow component of magnitude 15.9% (±6.9, SD) of the phase II amplitude was accompanied by a similar response (11.9%, ±7.1) in [PCr]. Only 5 subjects demonstrated a discernible splitting of the Pi peak, however, which began from between 35 to 235 s after exercise onset, and continued to cessation. As such, the dynamics of the pH distribution in intramuscular compartments did not consistently reflect the temporal features of the VO2 slow component, suggesting that [Pi] splitting does not uniquely reflect the activity of oxidative or glycolytic muscle fibres per se.
