Plasma ammonia response to sprint swimming

摘要

Background. To study the plasma mammonia response after sprint crawl swimming. Methods. Nine sprinters (S) and ten non-sprinters (NS) com- Pleted a 15-, a 25- and a 50-m crawl at maximal intensity With a 10-min and a 15-min resting period inbetween. Cap- Illary blood samples were collected before and at regular Intervals after each effort for plasma ammonia determina- Tion. Results. Ammonia kinetics differed among distances, but not Between groups, with peak values (observed 2-8 min postex- Ercise) being higher after 50 m as compared to shorter dis- Tances.
