Brief Summary

The effects of an eccentric endurance training on central and peripheral hemodynamic adaptations and erythrocyte rheology during maximal exercise remained to be unexplored. The current study examined the contribution of rheological functions and/or hemodynamic adaptation to changes in oxygen consumption (VO2) following the matched-power output eccentric (ECT) or concentric cycling training (CCT). Method: A total of 39 sedentary males were randomly assigned into either CCT (n=13) or ECT (n=13) for 30 min a day, 5 days a week for 6 weeks at 60% of maximal workload or to a CTL (control group, n = 13). A graded exercise test (GXT) was performed before and after the intervention. Central and microvascular adaptations were evaluated using thoracic impedance and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), respectively. Rheological characteristics was determined by an ektacytometer.

Interventions

1. Performed exercise training 5 days a week for 6 weeks on an eccentric ergometer. 2. Each training session: 3 min at 30% of maximal workload (Wmax) for warmed up and cold down and 30 min the main training phase. 3. Intensity: Firstly, set at 45% Wmax, and progressively increased 5% per week
