Exercise to exhaustion in the second-wind phase of exercise in a case of McArdle's disease with and without creatine supplementation.

Abstract
The cardio-pulmonary and biochemical changes observed in a case of McArdle's disease, exercising with increasing work rates to exhaustion in the "second-wind" phase of exercise are reported for the first time. A work rate of 275-325 watts was achieved. Venous blood lactate remained unchanged throughout. The plasma ammonium level reached a plateau of approximately 400 mmol/l at 100 watts. At a work rate of 150-175 watts the ratio of O2 consumption to CO2 production increased, the inverse of an anaerobic threshold. Maximal cardiopulmonary responses were achieved at 200 watts. During the final periods of exercise from 200 to 275/325 watts pulmonary ventilation did not significantly change but there was a decrease in the venous blood H+ concentration, and pO2 and in increase in the pCO2. Creatine supplementation at 25 g/day for five days did not improve exercise performance.
