The effect of training on the regional blood flow response to maximal exercise was investigated in the foxhound. Training consisted of 8–12 wk of treadmill running at 80% of maximal heart rate 1 h/day for 5 days/wk and resulted in a 31% increase in maximal O2 consumption, a 28% increase in maximal cardiac output, and a 23% decrease in systemic vascular resistance during maximal exercise. Blood flow to the heart, diaphragm, brain, skin, and 9 of 10 muscles investigated was similar during maximal exercise pre- and posttraining; however, blood flow to the gastrocnemius muscle was greater posttraining than it was pretraining. Blood flow to the stomach, small intestine, and pancreas decreased during maximal exercise pre- and posttraining; however, blood flow to the large intestine, spleen, liver, adrenal glands, and kidneys decreased during maximal exercise only posttraining. In addition, a larger decrease in blood flow to the stomach during maximal exercise was found posttraining compared with pretraining. These results demonstrate that blood flow to skeletal muscle, the kidneys, and the splanchnic region of the foxhound during maximal exercise can be significantly altered by dynamic exercise training.

The regional blood flow response to progressive treadmill exercise was measured with radioactive microspheres in 25 untrained mongrel dogs. Incremental increases in work intensity resulted in corresponding increases in blood flows to the gracilis, gastrocnemius, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus muscles of the hindlimb and to the heart. During maximal exercise, blood flow was greatest in the semimembranosus muscle and lowest in the semitendinosus muscle (342 and 134 ml–1.100 g tissue-1.min-1, respectively). Exercise produced a decrease in blood flow to the temporalis muscle, which was classified as nonlocomotive in function. Blood flows to the stomach, pancreas, and large intestine decreased at the lowest exercise work load and remained diminished throughout the continuum to maximal exercise. Blood flows to the small intestine and spleen were maintained during submaximal exercise but were reduced by 50% at maximal O2 consumption (VO2max). No changes in blood flows to the kidneys, adrenal glands, liver, and brain were found. These results demonstrate that 1) renal blood flow is maintained at resting levels during exercise in untrained dogs; 2) blood flow changes in the various organs of the splanchnic region of dogs during exercise are heterogeneous; and 3) blood flows to the working skeletal muscles of dogs progressively increase with increasing work loads up to VO2max.

The regional blood flow (BF) response to submaximal exercise was determined for sedentary and trained myocardial infarcted (MI) rats. Training consisted of treadmill running (10% grade, 30 m/min) for 1 h/day, 5 days/wk for 12-14 wk and produced decreases in resting heart rate and increases in maximal O2 uptake and endurance capacity. BF determined at 2 and 6 min of exercise (via radiolabeled microspheres) demonstrated that trained rats maintained greater BF to organs found in the abdominal region when compared with their sedentary counterparts. BF to the total hindlimb musculature at 2 min of exercise was greater in sedentary rats when compared with their trained counterparts and was the consequence of greater BF to 10 of the 27 muscle or muscle parts investigated. At 6 min of exercise, BF to the total hindlimb musculature was similar between trained and sedentary rats, as BF in 9 of 27 muscles or muscle parts investigated decreased from 2 to 6 min of exercise for the sedentary group. In general, the BF patterns within and among the individual muscles of the hindlimb were different between the two groups. Trained rats tended to maintain greater BF to the predominantly red muscles, whereas the sedentary rats maintained greater BF to the predominantly white muscles at 6 min of exercise. In conclusion, the training-induced changes in BF found in this study are similar to those found previously for normal rats, and they demonstrate that endurance training produces changes in the regional distribution of BF during exercise in MI rats.

The hemodynamic response to maximal exercise was determined in rats that were subjected to high-intensity sprint training (HIST) and rats that served as sedentary controls. Training consisted of five 1-min bouts of treadmill running at work loads (15% grade, 97 m/min) in excess of the animals' maximal O2 uptake (VO2max) interspersed with 90 s of rest. Training was performed 6 days/wk for 6 wk. After the training regimen, all rats were acutely instrumented with catheters in the right carotid artery and right ventricle. O2 uptakes, hemodynamic parameters, arterial and mixed venous O2 concentrations, blood gases, and acid-base status were determined at rest and during submaximal and maximal exercise. Results demonstrated that VO2max of HIST rats was significantly greater than that found for sedentary control rats. This increase in VO2max was due to an increase in maximal cardiac output (Qmax), since maximal arteriovenous O2 difference was similar between trained and sedentary rats. The increase in Qmax was due to an increase in maximal stroke volume (SVmax), because maximal heart rate in trained rats was similar to that in sedentary control rats. Citrate synthase and phosphofructokinase activities measured in the white gastrocnemius, plantaris, and soleus muscles of trained and sedentary rats were similar. These results suggest that the increase in VO2max produced with HIST in rats is strongly linked to an increase in central cardiac function as indicated by an increase in Qmax and SVmax.
