The overall aim of this proposal is to further investigate age-related alterations in the cardiovascular and skeletal muscular systems. A more sedentary lifestyle, as well as the process of aging, per se, have each been hypothesized as possible explanations for the decline in functional capacity that occurs with advanced age. Additionally, it has been suggested on the basis of minimal evidence that the capability of optimally regaining functional losses by exercising is reduced as aging progresses. The proposed experiments will investigate the effects of aging upon cardiovascular functional capabilities, determine whether age-related changes may be altered by dynamic exercise training, and determine whether chronic exercise accelerates, attenuates, or reverses declines in cardiovascular function that occur during the aging process. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, utilizing mature adult and senescent beagles, will be used to determine hemodynamic and regional blood flow responses to stress on an acute and chronic basis. In addition, the significance of adaptive responses of the sympathoadrenal and adrenergic systems upon age-related changes in myocardial function will be investigated before and after chronic exercise. Specific questions to be addressed include: 1) Do functional alterations occur in the myocardium with advanced age? 2) Do significant changes occur in the peripheral circulation during the aging process? 3) Do age-related reductions in endurance occur in skeletal muscle? 4) Do alterations during aging in the adrenergic and sympathoadrenal systems effect functional capacity? 5) What types of adaptation occur within the cardiovascular and skeletal muscular systems in response to dynamic exercise training in senescence? 6) Are age-related changes in myocardial, skeletal muscular, peripheral circulatory, sympathoadrenal, and adrenergic systems altered by chronically increased levels of activity? Regional blood flow will be determined by the radioactive microsphere technique, cardiac output by dye dilution, total body oxygen consumption by the product of arteriovenous oxygen difference and cardiac output, and beta-adrenoreceptor numbers and affinity by radioligand binding. Skeletal muscle histochemistry, biochemistry, and morphometrics will also be evaluated. This work is expected to document diminished functional capabilities that occur with advanced age, as well as the types of adaptive responses that result after chronic exercise. This knowledge may be clinically useful when considering activity levels and dynamic exercise training for the elderly.

该提案的总体目标是进一步调查与年龄有关的 心血管和骨骼肌系统的改变。 一个更 久坐不动的生活方式，以及衰老的过程，本身， 被假设为功能下降的可能解释， 随着年龄的增长而出现的能力。 此外， 根据最少的证据表明， 通过锻炼恢复功能损失随着衰老的进展而减少。 拟议中的实验将研究衰老对 心血管功能能力，确定是否与年龄有关 动态运动训练可以改变这些变化，并确定是否 慢性运动加速，减弱，或逆转下降， 在衰老过程中发生的心血管功能。 横断面和纵向研究，利用成熟的成人和 衰老的比格犬，将用于确定血流动力学和局部血液 心流对急性和慢性压力的反应。 此外该 交感肾上腺和肾上腺素能神经适应性反应的意义 系统对年龄相关的心肌功能变化将是 在慢性运动之前和之后。 具体问题将 涉及的问题包括：1）心肌是否发生功能性改变 年纪大了 2)外周血中是否发生了显著变化 在衰老过程中，？ 3)与年龄相关的减少 耐力发生在骨骼肌？ 4)在老化过程中， 肾上腺素能和交感肾上腺系统影响功能能力？ 5)什么 适应的类型发生在心血管和骨骼肌 系统响应动态运动训练在衰老？ 6)是 心肌、骨骼肌、外周 循环系统、交感肾上腺系统和肾上腺素能系统的改变， 活动水平提高？ 区域血流量将通过以下方式确定： 放射性微球技术，通过染料稀释的心输出量， 由动静脉氧积计算的全身耗氧量 差异和心输出量，以及β-肾上腺素受体数量和亲和力 通过放射性配体结合。 骨骼肌组织化学、生物化学和 还将评估形态计量学。 这项工作预计将记录 随着年龄的增长，功能能力下降，以及 慢性运动后产生的适应性反应类型。 这 当考虑活动水平时，知识可能在临床上有用， 为老年人提供动力训练。
