Increases in arterial plasma potassium during exercise may provide an important drive to ventilation. We examined the changes in arterialized venous plasma potassium concentration ([K +]av) and ventilation that occur during sustained exercise at workloads above and below the ventilatory threshold (Vt) in young health humans. After the onset of exercise at a workload below-Vt, [K +]av rose by 0.3 (+/- 0.1) mmol l-1 (mean +/- SEM). Following 30 min of exercise at this intensity [K +]av had fallen (P < 0.05, ANOVA) by an amount approximately equal to one third of the initial increase. While [K +]av fell, ventilation remained stable. At 5 min after the onset of sustained exercise above the Vt [K +]av had risen by 0.7 (+/- 0.1) mmol l-1 and thereafter remained constant. Ventilation slowly increased throughout the above-Vt protocol. These results show significant differences in the time course of the changes in [K +]av and ventilation. They do not support the hypothesis that changes in [K +]a during moderate exercise cause linearly related changes in ventilation.
