Effects of chronic NaHCO3 ingestion during interval training on changes to muscle buffer capacity, metabolism, and short-term endurance performance
No full textThis study determined the effects of altering the H(+) concentration during interval training, by ingesting NaHCO(3) (Alk-T) or a placebo (Pla-T), on changes in muscle buffer capacity (beta m), endurance performance, and muscle metabolites. Pre- and posttraining peak O(2) uptake (V(O2 peak)), lactate threshold (LT), and time to fatigue at 100\% pretraining V(O2 peak) intensity were assessed in 16 recreationally active women. Subjects were matched on the LT, were randomly placed into the Alk-T (n = 8) or Pla-T (n = 8) groups, and performed 8 wk (3 days/wk) of six to twelve 2-min cycle intervals at 140-170\% of their LT, ingesting NaHCO(3) or a placebo before each training session (work matched between groups). Both groups had improvements in beta m (19 vs. 9\%; P < 0.05) and V(O2 peak) (22 vs. 17\%; P < 0.05) after the training period, with no differences between groups. There was a significant correlation between pretraining beta m and percent change in beta m (r = -0.70, P < 0.05). There were greater improvements in both the LT (26 vs. 15\%; P = 0.05) and time to fatigue (164 vs. 123\%; P = 0.05) after Alk-T, compared with Pla-T. There were no changes to pre- or postexercise ATP, phosphocreatine, creatine, and intracellular lactate concentrations, or pH(i) after training. Our findings suggest that training intensity, rather than the accumulation of H(+) during training, may be more important to improvements in beta m. The group ingesting NaHCO(3) before each training session had larger improvements in the LT and endurance performance, possibly because of a reduced metabolic acidosis during training and a greater improvement in muscle oxidative capacity

The relationship between the (VO2)-O-. Slow component, muscle metabolites and performance during very-heavy exhaustive exercise
No full textThis study examined the relationship between the V O(2) response, particularly the slow component (SC), muscle metabolite changes and performance during very-heavy exhaustive exercise. Sixteen active females performed a graded exercise test to determine V O(2peak) and the lactate threshold followed 48h later by a constant-load cycle test to exhaustion (ET) at 85% V O(2peak) intensity. Muscle biopsies and capillary blood samples were obtained before and after the ET to determine changes in muscle ATP, pH, lactate and phosphocreatine and also plasma pH and lactate. Breath-by-breath data from the ET were smoothed using 5-s averages and fit to a three-component exponential model. The mean time to exhaustion (t(exh)) during the ET was 16.8 (+/-6.4) min. Results showed no correlation between the SC and t(exh) or any muscle metabolite changes (p>0.05). Significant correlations (p<0.05) were evident between t(exh) and tau; tau(0) (r=-0.54), tau(1) (r=-0.65), change in (Delta) pH(b) (r=-0.60), Delta[La(-)](b) (r=-0.58) and [La(-)](b post) (r=-0.64). Significant correlations (p<0.05) were also evident between tau(1) and [La(-)](b post) (r=0.54). Furthermore, a negative value resulted when the accumulated oxygen deficit was calculated for the entire duration of the ET. Results showed no association between the amplitude of the SC and t(ext) or to changes in muscle/blood metabolites, suggesting that the SC is not a determinant of high-intensity exercise tolerance. Furthermore, it is possible that a reduced perturbation of anaerobic energy sources, as a result of a faster tau(1), may have contributed to a longer t(exh)

The Potlikker Papers: A Food History of the Modern South
No full textLike great provincial dishes around the world, potlikker is a salvage food. During the antebellum era, slave owners ate the greens from the pot and set aside the leftover potlikker broth for the enslaved, unaware that the broth, not the greens, was nutrient rich. After slavery, potlikker sustained the working poor, both black and white. In the South of today, potlikker has taken on new meanings as chefs have reclaimed it. Potlikker is a quintessential Southern dish, and The Potlikker Papers is a people\u27s history of the modern South, told through its food. Beginning with the pivotal role cooks and waiters played in the civil rights movement, noted authority John T. Edge narrates the South\u27s fitful journey from a hive of racism to a hotbed of American immigration. He shows why working-class Southern food has become a vital driver of contemporary American cuisine. Food access was a battleground issue during the 1950s and 1960s. Ownership of culinary traditions has remained a central contention on the long march toward equality. The Potlikker Papers tracks pivotal moments in Southern history, from the back-to-the-land movement of the 1970s to the rise of fast and convenience foods modeled on rural staples. Edge narrates the gentrification that gained traction in the restaurants of the 1980s and the artisanal renaissance that began to reconnect farmers and cooks in the 1990s. He reports as a newer South came into focus in the 2000s and 2010s, enriched by the arrival of immigrants from Mexico to Vietnam and many points in between. Along the way, Edge profiles extraordinary figures in Southern food, including Fannie Lou Hamer, Colonel Sanders, Mahalia Jackson, Edna Lewis, Paul Prudhomme, Craig Claiborne, and Sean Brock. Over the last three generations, wrenching changes have transformed the South. The Potlikker Papers tells the story of that dynamism--and reveals how Southern food has become a shared culinary language for the nation.https://egrove.olemiss.edu/libarts_book/1008/thumbnail.jp
