Key result
Six weeks of one-legged cycling training significantly decreased muscle sympathetic nerve activity during the third minute of dynamic exercise (from 32 to 22 bursts/min; P<0.01).
Why the study?
Does one-legged exercise training reduce sympathetic nerve responses at rest and during dynamic exercise in men?
Population
11 men (6 in the training group, 5 untrained control subjects)
Comparison
High-intensity interval and prolonged continuous… vs No training
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
6 weeks

May not alter practice in healthy men; hypothesis-generating for leg-training sympathetic effects, needing confirmation in patients.
Does one-legged exercise training reduce sympathetic nerve responses at rest and during dynamic exercise in men?
p-value: p=<0.01
One-legged exercise training attenuates muscle sympathetic nerve activity during dynamic exercise, demonstrating that sympathetic adaptations occur with leg training similarly to forearm training.
Chester A. Ray (1999) studied this question. One-legged cycling training vs. Untrained control was evaluated on Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) during the third minute of exercise (p=<0.01). Six weeks of one-legged cycling training significantly decreased muscle sympathetic nerve activity during the third minute of dynamic exercise (from 32 to 22 bursts/min; P<0.01).
