We examined the muscle glycogen, and muscle and plasma lactate concentrations before and after 1 and 2 min of intensive exercise at 120% VO2max, and examined possible relationships between these indexes and protein levels of monocarboxylate transporters (MCT) in the gluteus medius muscle of Thoroughbred horses. The horses underwent 1 and 2 min of intensive exercise at the speed of 120% maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) on a treadmill. The plasma lactate concentration increased after 1-min exercise (11.7 ± 0.8 mmol/L) and 2-min exercise (23.1 ± 1.1 mmol/L). The muscle lactate concentration increased after 1-min exercise (17.3 ± 2.1 mmol/kg) and 2-min exercise (23.6 ± 2.0 mmol/kg). While there was no significant difference in lactate accumulation in the plasma between the first minute and the second minute, lactate accumulation in muscle significantly decreased in the second minute compared with the first minute. The muscle glycogen level decreased after both 1- (42%) and 2-min (41%) exercise, but there was no difference between the levels after 1- and 2-min exercise. The muscle lactate concentration after 2-min intensive exercise positively correlated with the protein level of MCT4 (r = 0.78, p < 0.01). These results suggest that glycogen breakdown occurs in the first minute of intensive exercise, and Thoroughbred horses with higher muscle lactate production during exercise are endowed with higher expression of MCT4, that facilitates the efflux of lactate from muscle cells.

A number of changes occur with aging in skeletal muscles including a reduction in muscle fiber size and fiber number. However, recent studies have indicated that the elderly tend to be more resistant to fatigue than the young, particularly during prolonged isometric muscle contraction. In this review, we explore the molecular mechanisms in muscle cells that are involved in this phenomenon. Aging has been thought to induce preferential loss of fast-type fibers. However, previous studies have shown that a fiber-type shift with aging is specific to the region, type and/or function of the muscles. Aging promotes the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in skeletal muscle, and ROS is suggested to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK signaling is involved in muscle atrophy, and it activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α). PGC-1α is considered a key regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis, and furthermore, it could be involved in the reinnervation of muscle fibers that have been denervated due to aging. Thus, the balance between AMPK and PGC-1α could play an important role in increasing fatigue resistance in aged skeletal muscle.

The present study was aimed to investigate the physical ability of javelin throwers among uni-versity students using the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and Capacity Test, compared with other throwers.The anatomical cross-sectional areas (ACCAs) of trunk muscles were determined using MRI. Capacity Test is composed of 30 m sprint, standing triple jump from a double-legged, backward over the head shot, forward over the head shot, sargent jump, snatch, and shoulder flexibility test with a javelin.Results are as follows:1. The male javelin throwers (MJT) group showed significant correlation between javelin throw records and ASCAs per body mass of body trunk extensor muscles (r=0.722, p<0.05) .2. There was significant correlation between the forward over the head shot, and javelin throw in MJT group (r=0.800, p<0.01) . And the same tendency was also seen in female javelin throwers (FJT) group (r=0.735, p=0.055) .3. The MJT group showed some correlation between javelin throw records and ASCAs per body mass of psoas major muscle (r=0.657, p=0.060) .By the above-mentioned results, it was considered that the trunk extensors are important for male javelin throwers.

The purpose of this study was to retrospectively examine the association of habitual exercise with “single fall (= 1)”, “multiple falls (≥ 2)”, and “injurious falls (≥ 1)” among community-dwelling older adults. A total of 1,683 community-dwelling older adults, aged 60-97 years (72.6 +/- 6.6 yr, 512 men and 1,171 women) were included in this study. Habitual exercises continued one year or longer (6.4 +/- 9.5 yr) were classified into twelve types. Exercise components (time, quantity, period of continuity, and number of exercises) were divided with median or tertiles. To assess the association between habitual exercises and fall status, multivariable logistic regression analyses with stepwise selection method, were applied. The multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that dance (odds ratio (OR): 0.30, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.09-0.96) was negatively associated with “single fall”. Bicycling (OR: 3.72, 95% CI: 1.32-10.77) was positively associated with “multiple falls”, and the period of continuity (OR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.60-0.91) was negatively associated with “multiple falls”. None of the exercise components were selected with regard to “injurious falls”. Results indicate that dance may be an effective type of exercise for fall prevention among community-dwelling older adults. However, caution about falling is warranted toward bicycling as an exercise. Moreover, a longer period of continuity (≥ 4 years) appears to be a positive factor of habitual exercise for fall prevention.

The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the relationships between the exercise history and the bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) in female Japanese young adults using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). One-hundred twenty females, aged between 18 to 28 years, participated in the present investigation. The BMD at the lumbar spine (L-BMD), whole body BMD and BMC (WB-BMD and WB-BMC), lean body mass (LBM) and fat mass (FM) were measured by DXA. Using a self-administrered questionnaire, the exercise habits during preschool (4-6 years), primary school (7-12 years), junior high school (13-15 years), high school (16-18 years), and the current habits (>18 years) were eveluated. The L-BMD, WB-BMD and WB-BMC were significantly higher in the subjects with exercise habits during both the period of <18 years and >18 years compared with those in the subjects without an exercise history during all periods (p<0.05). In a separate analysis with the data stratified by the school age, the subjects with an exercise history during primary school, junior high school, or high school had significantly higher BMD and BMC values compared with the non-exercisers (each, p<0.05). In contrast, the BMD and BMC did not differ significantly according to either the exercise history during pre-school nor the current exercise status. A multiple stepwise regression analysis revealed that the body weight, LBM, FM, age of menarche, and exercise habits during high school were significant determinants of the L-BMD, WB-BMD and WB-BMC (p<0.001). The results of the present investigation show that both the exercise history during school age and the current exercise habits affect the BMD and BMC in young adults. In particular, high school females should be encouraged to participate in the regular exercise to increase their bone health. Future studies will be needed to confirm the targeted age-group(s) for participation in sports/exercise for the improvement of bone health, including an analysis of the type and intensity of exercise/sports.

Physical exercise-mediated production of reactive oxygen species has been shown to cause oxidative stress, particularly in contracting skeletal muscles. Growing evidence indicates that exercise-induced oxidative stress plays an indispensable role in upregulating signaling pathways required to promote not only skeletal muscle, but also whole body adaptation to physical exercise. It is becoming increasingly clear that exercise-related beneficial adaptations are strongly regulated by exercise-induced oxidative stress, consistent with hormesis theory. According to the hormesis hypothesis, exercise-induced mild to moderate oxidative stress through reactive oxygen species generation stimulates favorable exercise-related physiological adaptations. Additionally, repeated exposure to oxidative stress induced by physical training can trigger various hormesis-based adaptations (i.e., hormetic adaptive responses), including activation of antioxidative defense mechanisms. This brief review provides an overview of several conceptual frameworks related to exercise-mediated hormetic adaptive responses rather than a detailed critique of individual reports.

Several studies have shown that low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) or heavy alcohol consumption is risks of total or certain types of cancer death. However, the combined influence of CRF and drinking habits on total cancer mortality is not clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the joint effect of CRF and drinking habits on total cancer mortality among Japanese men. We evaluated the CRF and drinking habits on risk of total cancer mortality in 8,760 Japanese men (age: 19-59 yr) who were given a submaximal exercise test, a medical examination test, and questionnaires on their health habits. CRF was measured using a cycle ergometer test, and the men were classified into two categories by CRF levels based on the reference value of CRF (R-CRF) in “Physical Activity Reference for Health Promotion 2013” (Under R-CRF and Over R-CRF). Also, the men were assigned to Non Drinking, Moderate Drinking, and Heavy Drinking categories. There were 178 cancer deaths during the 20-yr follow-up period. Relative risk and 95% confidence intervals for total cancer mortality were obtained using the Cox proportional hazards model while adjusting for age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and smoking habits. Using the Under R-CRF & Heavy Drinking group as reference, the relative risk and 95% confidence intervals were 0.37 (0.16–0.85) for the Over R-CRF & Non Drinking group. This result suggests that Japanese male with a high CRF and a low drinking habit have a lower risk of total cancer mortality.

There have been several reports on exercise prescriptions and the effects of exercise on various diseases, particularly for fat metabolism disorder. In recent years, notably from the latter half of the 1990s, studies on effective exercise prescriptions for fat metabolism disorder have taken into account the type of exercise content (type, intensity and duration per session) that has beneficial effects on fat metabolism disorder and the post-exercise recovery period. These studies have analysed the fat oxidation rate as a parameter for examining the beneficial effects of exercise on fat metabolism disorder. In this review, studies, undertaken in Japan and overseas, are introduced that are related to exercise and the fat oxidation rate.

Skeletal muscle has only recently been considered a secretory organ. Muscle-derived proteins are now termed myokines. Until date, about 20 proteins known as cytokines, growth factors, and adipokines have been reported as myokines. However, only a few studies have been able to demonstrate secretion from the skeletal muscle. Furthermore, many reports are still uncertain of whether proteins are secreted from skeletal muscle cells or from the surrounding tissue, because some studies have measured myokine concentration in blood taken from human and animal subjects, which also contains other organ-derived proteins. Secretion of some myokines is promoted by muscle contraction or insulin stimulation, whereas others seem to be constitutively secreted. The mechanisms of action and roles of myokines are also complicated. Some are believed to affect distant organs through endocrine and paracrine mechanisms, while others affect organs through an autocrine mechanism. In this article, we review updates of myokines, including their history. Furthermore, the article discusses the need to re-define myokines in order to avoid possible misunderstandings because of insufficient data.

The biomechanical features of skeletal muscles are reviewed, with regard to their form and function and anatomical components (fascicles and tendinous tissues). 1) Studies on fascicle architecture are reviewed, highlighting its importance in the force and velocity potentials of the muscle along with its plasticity and muscle-size dependence. 2) The elastic properties of the muscle-tendon unit are described, pointing out the contribution of tendinous tissues as a spring. Functional consequences of tendon elasticity are summarized with respect to exercise performance under mechanically and neurally controlled joint actions, which lead to energy saving of muscle fibers and enhancing the positive work of the muscle. 3) The task-specificity of the muscle as an actuator or a spring and its position dependence (proximal to distal trend of functional divergence) are mentioned. Literature shows that proximal muscles are architecturally designed for actuation and distal muscles are more suited for a spring function. 4) Unique but strange behavior of tendinous tissues, that is seen in stretch-shortening types of movement, is described, suggesting variable elasticity of tendinous tissues that is modulated by muscle activation. 5) Finally, a need to consider multiple muscle-tendon units as a system is introduced to reasonably understand recent findings that otherwise cannot be accounted for. Collectively, it is suggested that the muscle-tendon unit is not only a simple combination of muscle fiber and tendinous tissues acting as actuator and spring, respectively, but also a unit that acts both anatomically and functionally.

Skeletal muscle is the primary site of glucose uptake in humans. Glucose transport activity, which is the rate-limiting step in muscle glucose metabolism, is linearly related to the content of the GLUT-4 isoform of the glucose transporter. Therefore, the level of GLUT-4 in skeletal muscle may be an important determinant of whole-body glucose disposal. It has been well documented that long-term, low- to moderate-intensity endurance exercise training induces an increase in muscle GLUT-4 content. However, emerging evidence suggests that an adaptive increase in GLUT-4 occurs even after a single acute bout of exercise or high-intensity intermittent exercise training. Recent findings also indicate that nutritional status affects GLUT-4 expression in skeletal muscle. This review provides an overview of the effects of exercise and nutritional status on GLUT-4 content in skeletal muscle, and summarizes recent progress in elucidating the molecular regulation of muscle GLUT-4 gene expression by exercise and nutritional stimuli.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of cryotherapy on knee joint position sense (JPS) and intraarticular blood flow volume (IBFV) and evaluate their relationships with cooling time as well as with surface temperature and deep temperature. Ten healthy volunteers were examined. This study consisted of a same-subjects repeated-measures design, with the timeframe of cryotherapy application (no therapy [resting control group], 2-min cooling, or 15-min cooling intervention) after exercise being the independent variable, and IBFV, knee JPS, surface temperature, and deep temperature serving as the dependent variables. Dependent variables were examined before 10-min cycle ergometer exercise (baseline), post-exercise, post-cooling, and 15 min later. In the 15-min cooling group, IBFV immediately after cooling and 15 min later were significantly lower than the post-exercise values (P = 0.048 and 0.016, respectively), and knee JPS at 15 min later was significantly lower than the baseline value (P = 0.037). By contrast, the 2-min cooling group showed no significant changes in either knee JPS or IBFV. Although both surface and deep temperatures after cooling were significantly lower than baseline (P = 0.034 and P < 0.001, respectively) in the 2-min cooling group, 15 min later they were significantly higher than post-cooling values (P = 0.023 and 0.023, respectively). These results suggest that 15-min cooling interventions functionally impair the sensitivity of JPS, although cooling is suitable for reduction of IBFV in deep tissue. Cooling interventions lasting less than 2-min did not affect knee JPS; however no reduction of IBFV occurred during this timeframe.

水中での作業であるが身体を冷しても作業後の採暖を行うので月経及び妊娠にはあまり影響がない。又早流産が少くなつたのは保健知織と公衆衛生施策の普及による成果であると思われる。分娩については水泳と云う全身運動が産婦体操の役目をしているように思われる分娩時間も短くしかも大部分が軽産である。産褥期間は21日で他の職業となんら変りはない。出生時の新生児の体重も変りはないが舳倉島海女の平均7.4人の出生数は多産であるが育児に関する関心が薄いと思われるのは50才以上の海女の子供の死亡率が49.1%と半数が死亡している事でもわかることであるがそれも消化不良とか栄養不良症であると云う。海女の年令が若いほど子供の死亡率が減少していると云う事は保健知識と育児知識が行きわたりつつある為とも云える。以上の事から海女業は婦人の生理に対して影響は少ない様に思われる。

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the impact on the body during landing in dancers is less than in non-dancers by using accelerometers and motion analyzer.Method: Eleven ballet dancers and 11 non-dancers participated in this study. Each subject was instructed to perform 3 types of landing from a height of 30cm: landing, silent landing and raise up landing. Markers were put on the iliac crest, greater trochanter, knee joint, lateral malleolus. The peak vertical and horizontal accelerations of the lumbar, peak vertical acceleration of the greater trochanter and the peak flexion angles of the hip and knee joints were measured after the trials.Result: In the raise up landing, the peak vertical acceleration of the lumbar region in dancers was less than that in non-dancers (p < 0.01), and the peak knee-flexion angle in dancers was greater than that in non-dancers (p < 0.01). There were no differences between the peak hipflexion angles of dancers and non-dancers.Conclusion: The impact on the lumbar during raise up landing was less in dancers. In raise up landing, the trunk tends to be fixed when the dancer stands upright. Moreover, dancers attenuated the shock to the lumbar region by increasing the knee-flexion angle to a greater extent than the non-dancers did. This result may indicate the importance of the knee joint flexion in attenuating the shock during landing and show that dancers excel in using their knees flexibly.

In order to clarify the relationship between acute physical exercise and immunity, the numbers of overall leucocytes, lymphocytes and neutrophils, the concentrations of immunoglo-bulins and complements, the ratios of lymphocyte subsets (OKT 3, 4, 8, Leu 7, OKIa 1) and the levels of lymphocyte transformation response to PHA were measured in nine untrained male subjects (18-22 years old) before, immediately after, along with 24 and 72 hours after acute physical exercise at 50% of VO2max for 2 hours. Before exercise all components were within normal range. Exercise produced a significant rise in the number of leucocytes and neutrophils overall. The response of lymphocytes to PHA immediately after exercise was significantly lower than before, or 24 hours or 72 hours after exercise.There was no change in the number of lymphocytes, or in the concentration of immunoglo-bulins and complements before and after exercise. Likewise the ratios of lymphocyte subsets also remained unchanged.From these results, it can be concluded that acute physical exercise by untrained subjects is one kind of physical stressor and can contribute to T cell dysfunction.
