  3. 2. Physiological characteristics of sodium lactate infusion during resistance exercise

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskap

    Author : Sebastian Danielsson; [2019]
    Keywords : sodium lactate; sodium lactate infusion; infusion; resistance exercise; knee-extensor; vastus lateralis; metabolic effects; hematological effects; plasma lactate; muscle lactate; muscle content of lactate; MHC; fiber type; blood pH; muscle pH; blood lactate; blood sodium; blood potassium; blood glucose; hemoglobin; in vivo; randomized; cross-over;

    Abstract : Previous studies that utilized sodium lactate infusion did not use resistance exercise protocol or analyzed muscle biopsies, or performed sex specific analysis. Aim: We initiated a project where resistance exercise was performed with low and high levels of lactate, acquired by venous lactate infusion where the specific aim of this study was to investigate and chart the physiological characteristics of sodium lactate infusion during a bout of resistance exercise on whole group level and sexes separated Method: A randomized, placebo controlled, cross-over design was implemented where male (n = 8) and female (n = 8) subjects accustomed to resistance exercise visited the laboratory three times for preliminary testing and training familiarization.
