Effects of 30 versus 60 min of low-load work on intramuscular lactate, pyruvate, glutamate, prostaglandin E(2) and oxygenation in the trapezius muscle of healthy females.

Journal article

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of duration of low-load repetitive work on intramuscular lactate, pyruvate, glutamate and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), and oxygen saturation in the trapezius muscle. Twenty healthy females were studied during baseline rest, during low-load repetitive work for either 30 (REP 30) or 60 min (REP 60) and 60 min recovery. Intramuscular microdialysate (IMMD) samples were obtained, and local muscle tissue oxygenation (%StO(2)) assessed with near-i...
