Abstract
Force-velocity relations from after-loaded contractions, from isometric and isotonic QR experiments, resting-tension curves and biochemical analyses were conducted on sixteen trabecular muscles (SH) from hearts of rats conditioned by eight weeks swimming training (increase in heart weight 8%), and compared to a control (CH) of eighteen trabecular muscles. (SH) showed increased tension development (pmax of (SH) was only slightly increased when there was a significant rise in actomyosin and myosin ATPase activity, while P0 of the force-velocity relations of (SH) on the x axis (tension) shifted clearly to the right (pmax von (SH) mäßig erhöht, während po auf der x-Achse der Kraft-Geschwindigkeits-Beziehung deutlich nach rechts verlagert war (p<0.01). Demzufolge steigerte sich die maximale Momentanleistung von (SH), d. h. die größtmögliche Rechtecksfläche unter der Kraft-Geschwindigkeits-Beziehung, im Vergleich zu (CH) beträchtlich (p<0.01). Die Experimente zeigen, daß hämo dynamische Belastungen dieser Art die passiven Eigenschaften des Myokards kaum verändern, jedoch eine Steigerung der querschnittsbezogenen myokardialen Leistungsfähigkeit bewirken.Keywords
