Kinetics of phosphorus metabolites in human soleus (SOL)
and gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscles were measured
during and after plantar flexion exercise bouts with
varying workloads, using single-shot localized MRS
(semi-LASER) at high time resolution with a custom
multichannel 1H/31P coil at 7T. PCr recovery time τ was
successfully quantified in GM and in SOL. In GM, τ
showed positive correlation with exercise intensity and
GM PCr depletion. In SOL, these correlations were not
found, e.g. some datapoints with strong depletion in SOL
even showed a τ of only 20s. pH in GM was also
correlated to PCr depletion.
