The effect of beta-blockade on plasma potassium concentrations and muscle excitability following static exercise
Abstract
Abstract The effects of β-blockade on plasma [K+], muscle excitability and force during fatiguing exercise were examined. Nine healthy males (mean age 22.3±1.7 yr) performed a 3-min fatigue protocol that consisted of a sustained submaximal contraction (30% of the maximal voluntary contraction, MVC) of the right quadriceps muscle. Subjects performed the exercise after treatment with either placebo, β1-selective (metoprolol, 100 mg) or an …
