Fourteen normal subjects were submitted to isometric exercise (IE), dynamic exercise (DE) and a combination of the two (IE + DE). The main purpose of the present was to use IE as a means of evaluating the mechanism of the heart rate (HR) increase induced by DE. To this end, the magnitude of the IE (handgrip) was standardized so as to cause an elevation of HR almost exclusively by vagal withdrawal: IE was performed sing a dyhnamometer strain-gauge system with a linear response at 75% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)for 10 s, repeated at 1 min intervals. The change in HR evoked by IE under control conditions was compared with that evoked during DE, and during the corresponding recovery period. DE was performed by the legs, with the subject in the seated position for 4 min, at workloads of 55 and 105 watts, separated by a rest period. In the combined protocol, IE was peformed at the beginning of DE, as well as at 1, 2 and 3 min during DE, and at 0, 1, 2, 3 and 5 min during recovery period. The following results were obtained: (1) IE associated with DE always induced smaller increase in heart rate than IE alone, and this effect was more marked at 10-5 than at 55 W; this finding suggested a workload-dependent vagal withdrawal at the very beginning of DE that was sustained until the end of effort. (2) During DE, each IE induced a similar increase in HR, even at workload of 105 W, when the HR increased gradually in response to DE itself; these results suggest that, this gradual tachycardia (from the 1st to the 4th min of DE) was not fagus dependent (3)The standardized IE used here permitted functional evaluation of the dynamics of vagal withdrawal without resorting to pharmacological blockade of the autonomic nervous system.
