Abstract

Postprandial gastric myoelectrical activity recorded by electrogastrogram (EGG) with the subject in a supine position has shown to be enhanced after moderate-intensity pedaling exercise in an upright seated position, despite the suppression of vagal nerve activity. However, it is still unknown whether the effect is due to the exercise itself and/or a meal or how the position change has influenced the effects. To address this, we used a position-controllable cycle ergometer to examine the effects of the moderate-intensity exercise on EGG activity and the high-frequency (HF) component of heart rate variability (HRV), an index of vagal nerve activity. To eliminate the effect of position change, we carried out the exercise and the EGG recording in the supine position. The peak amplitude of the EGG was enhanced by prior moderate-intensity exercise with a reduced HF component of HRV, which did not differ for postexercise conditions with or without a meal. The small amount of meal itself, however, enhanced both the peak amplitude of the EGG and the HF component of HRV. The peak frequency of EGG was reduced and the instability coefficient of EGG was increased only after the exercise itself. Taken together, these results suggest that the enhanced amplitude of gastric myoelectrical activity can be induced by moderate-intensity exercise itself, even with suppressed vagal nerve activity, and that the mechanism underlying the exercise effects would differ from that underlying the effect of a meal alone.<br>
