Salbutamol effects on systemic potassium dynamics during and following intense continuous and intermittent exercise

Purpose Salbutamol inhalation is permissible by WADA in athletic competition for asthma management and affects potassium regulation, which is vital for muscle function. Salbutamol effects on arterial potassium concentration ([K + ] a ) during and after high-intensity continuous exercise (HI cont ) a...

Description
Summary:Purpose Salbutamol inhalation is permissible by WADA in athletic competition for asthma management and affects potassium regulation, which is vital for muscle function. Salbutamol effects on arterial potassium concentration ([K + ] a ) during and after high-intensity continuous exercise (HI cont ) and intermittent exercise comprising repeated, brief sprints (HI int ), and on performance during HI int are unknown and were investigated. Methods Seven recreationally active men participated in a double-blind, randomised, cross-over design, inhaling 1000 µg salbutamol or placebo. Participants cycled continuously for 5 min at 40 % V ˙ O 2peak and 60 % V ˙ O 2peak , then HI cont (90 s at 130 % V ˙ O 2peak ), 20 min recovery, and then HI int (3 sets, 5 × 4 s sprints), with 30 min recovery. Results Plasma [K + ] a increased throughout exercise and subsequently declined below baseline ( P
