GOLLNICK, PD, RB ARMSTRONG, WL SEMBROWICH, RE SHEPHERD, AND B. SALTIN. Glycogen depletion pattern in human skeletal muscle jibers after heavy exercise. J. Appl. Physiol. 34 (5): 6 15-618. 1973.-The glycogen depletion pattern in human skeletal muscle fibers was followed during short high-intensity work in six subjects. Exercise consisted of pedaling a bicycle ergometer at 90 or 104 rpm and a resistance calculated to require an energy expenditure of 150% of the subject’s aerobic power. Six I-min sprints were performed with lo-min rest periods between each exercise. Biopsy samples were taken from the vastus lateralis muscle at rest and after the first, third, and final work bouts. Total muscle glycogen declined as a function of the number of work bouts. The relative concentration of glycogen in the muscle fibers was histochemically estimated from PAS staining intensity. The first fibers to become depleted of their glycogen stores were the low-oxidative, high-glycolytic, fast twitch fibers. This suggests an early recruitment of these fibers during heavy exercise. This pattern is in contrast to that seen during prolonged, moderately-intense exercise when the high-oxidative slow twitch fibers are the first to become depleted of their glycogen reserves. blood lactate; muscle glycogen; heavy work; muscle fiber utilizationHISTOCHEMICAL GLYCOGEN DEPLETION patterns indicate that the slow twitch (ST) fibers of human skeletal muscle are preferentially used in prolonged, moderately-intense exercise (unpublished observations). Fast twitch (FT) fibers are progressively recruited as the glycogen of the ST fibers becomes depleted. In contrast, during maximal muscular contraction produced by electrical stimulation the fasttwitch white fibers of rat and guinea pig skeletal muscle are the first to become phosphorylase negative and depleted of their glycogen stores (4, 9). The question arises as to whether or not the FT fibers of human muscle are utilized in the early stages of high-intensity exercise. Since FT fibers generally have lower oxidative capacity than ST fibers (5) the simultaneous use of both fiber types would result in an early depletion of the glycogen reserves of these fibers. The purpose of this study was to follow the glycogen depletion pattern in fast-and slow-twitch fibers of human skeletal muscle during bicycle exercise requiring an energy production equivalent to 150% of the subject’s aerobic power. From these data conclusions have been drawn concerning the recruitment of the two fiber types during highintensity, short-term exercise.
