The investigation was conducted among eight untrained male and six well-trained male cyclists with the purpose of finding out the relationship between muscle fiber composition and lactate threshold. Muscle biopsy samples were taken of vastus lateralis to determine the composition of fiber type (Ⅰ, Ⅱ). Maximal oxygen uptake was measured in a progressive cycle ergometer test, while blood lactate threshold was determined on the basis of a systematic increase in BLa above baseline warm-up values. Analyses show that the percentage of type Ⅰ is closely correlated with lactate threshold in both groups of subjects and that muscle fiber composition plays (?) important role in determining lactate threshold. Therefore, an assessment of muscle fiber composition is useful for spotting athletes with high potential for endurance performance.

The purpose of this study was to research the characteristic of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in erythrocy-tes of sprinters and middle-distance runners. Resting content and activity of SOD in erythrocytes were studi-ed in 8 untrained men, 8 sprinters and 8 middle-distance runners (male). SOD content, as well as SODactivity, in athletes was significantly greater than it in untrained men. It suggested: the exercise trainingwhich glycogen breakdown provided the majority of the non-oxidative energy could elevate the level of SODin erythrocytes. The VO_2 max and AT, and SOD content and activity in erythrocytes from 12 athletes (4sprinters and 8 middle-distance runners) were studied. There was no significant correlation between both VO_2max and AT and SOD level. To also observe the change of SOD in erythrocytes after a bout of exercise.The content and activity of SOD did not change significantly after 12 athletes exercised to VO_2max on acycle ergometer. Similarly, they did not change significantly during 14 hours of recovery from 5000-metrerace. These athletes had trained regularly several years and SOD level in erythrocytes of them had increased,which had been sufficient to remove and cope with increaced O_2 during the exercise. It might be one ofthe causes that SOD in erythrocytes did not change significantly after a bout of exercise.
3.EFFECT OF WEIGHTLIFTING ON THE NUMBER OF MUSCLE FIBRES IN MAN
Chinese Journal of Sports Medicine 1983;0(03):-
Whether or not muscle hypertrophy induced by physical exercise will result in the increase in thenumber of muscle fibres is a question much debated in recent years. But little has been done so farin studying the effect of short and long term weight training on the changes in the number of muscle fibres in the human body. As an attempt to find out this effect, a research has been madeon 29 male subjects. Nine young trainees at spare-time sports schools were put through a weightliftingprogramme consisting of three hours of work a day, six days a week for 10 weeks. Before and afterthe 10-week period, the cross section of the musculus vastus lateralis was measured with computedtomography scanning (CT); maximal voluntary isometric torques of knee extension were alsomeasured; muscle biopsies were taken from the vastus lateralis to distinguish between muscle fibresof type I and type II and to find out their distribution and their average areas; and the number ofmuscle fibres was calculated by a formula. The results were compared with those obtained from thecontrol group of 13 persons and a group of seven weightlifters of national ranking. It was found thatthe 10 weeks of weight training did not result in the increase in the number of muscle fibres althoughit caused some change in the maximal torque; and that although long-term training resulted insignificant changes in the maximal torque and the area of muscle fibres, there was no significantdifference in the number of muscle fibres between the elite group on the one hand and the controlgroup and the group of trainees who had gone through 10 weeks of training on the other. Thesefindings supported Soviet scholars' idea that to respond to load stress, animals depend on bothhypertrophy and hyperplasia in the muscle while man relies on hypertrophy alone. They alsosuggested the need for further studies on this subject.

The purpose of this study is to observe the changes of the values of Met-enkephalin in variolus brain areas of rats, after exhaustive running on the treadmill by means of Radioimmunoussy (RIA). The resultsdemonstrated tbat the values of Met-enkephalin in the artas of cerebral cortex, caudatum. cerebellum andhypothalamus increased, significantly, while there was no significant change in those in areas of thalamus,brain stem and hippocampus. The following. conclusion has been drawn by the authors. The muscular activity is a type of stressorwhich can not only cause the changes of the values of ?-endorphin in plasma, but also cause the increase ofMet-enkephalin released from its neuron. Further investigations are needed on the problem whether the inc-rease in Met-enkephalin may have Dositive or negative physiological effects on the muscular activity of livingbody.
