Popis: Sixteen male subjects participated in resistance training comprising three sets of 8-handgrip exercises at a workload that could be performed no more than eight times, three times a week for 6 weeks. Eight subjects immersed their experimental forearm in cold water (10711C) for 20 min following each training period, while the remaining eight served as controls. (2) Muscular endurance with rhythmic handgrips significantly (po0.01) increased in both groups after the training period with a non-significant difference between groups. The relative diameter of ultrasonography- evaluated brachial artery failed to increase in the immersion group despite a significant increase (po0.05) of that in the control group after training. (3) Regular post-exercise cold application might attenuate the improvement in muscular endurance, possibly in association with reduced vascular remodeling. r 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
