    Notes: Summary The effects of visual attention and fixation upon the distribution of saccadic latencies: express (E-), fast regular (FR-), and slow regular (SR-) saccades were investigated. Extinguishing a fixation or an attention point 200–300 ms before target onset increases the incidence of E-saccades while concurrently decreasing the proportion of SR-saccades. Since this extinction forces a disengaging of attention, these changes in relative proportions of saccades reflect the elimination of one of the steps involved in programming saccades. It is shown that a previously attended stimulus has a favored status relative to other stimuli in the visual field. If, after being turned off, the previously attended fixation point or a peripheral attention stimulus is turned on near the time of the target's appearance, the occurrence of the E-saccades is greatly reduced. However, the appearance of any other stimulus in the visual field at or near the time of the target onset does not inhibit E-saccades. Contrary to the conclusions reached by Posner and Cohen (1984), a stimulus presented at the formerly attended location can attract attention more efficiently than a stimulus presented at another, new location.

    Notes: Summary Saslow (1967) and Fischer and Ramsperger (1984) found that saccadic reaction time (SRT) depends on the interval between the fixation point offset and the target onset. Using a continuously visible fixation point, we asked whether a similar function would be obtained if subjects attended to a peripherally viewed point extinguished at variable intervals before or after the target onset. The interval was varied between -500ms (i.e., attention stimulus offset after saccade target onset = overlap trials) and 500ms (i.e., attention stimulus offset before saccade target onset = gap trials). The results show a constant mean SRT of about 240 ms for overlap trials, and a U-shaped function with a minimum of 140 ms, at a gap duration of 200 ms, for gap trials. These findings suggest that saccadic latencies do not depend on the cessation of fixation per se, but rather on the disengagement of attention from any location in the visual field. The time required for subjects to disengage their attention is approximately 100 ms. This disengaged state of attention — during which short latency (express) saccades can be made — can be sustained only for a gap duration of 300 ms. At longer gap durations mean SRTs increase again.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The present study addressed the effects of carbohydrate consumption during endurance exercise on performance, energy turnover, and metabolism. Well-trained endurance runners consumed a beverage with (cho[+]) or without (cho[−]) carbohydrates during a long-distance run (46.6 km). The respiratory quotient (RQ), plasma levels of carbohydrate and fat metabolites, and of hormones (insulin, glucagon) were measured before, several times during, and after the run. The mean running speed for the entire distance was 13.6 and 13.4 km/h with the cho[+] and cho[−] beverage, respectively. The decrease in speed that was observed towards the end of the run was somewhat more pronounced with consumption of the cho[−] beverage. The RQ decreased during the run almost linearily. This decrease was independent of the consumed beverage. The changes in plasma levels of lactate, free fatty acids (FFA), glycerol, D-3-hydroxybutyrate (DHB), glucagon and insulin that occurred during the run were not affected by intake of the cho[+] beverage. However, intake of the cho [+] beverage prevented the decrease in plasma glucose observed towards the end of the run under control conditions, and eliminated the steep postexercise increase in plasma DHB. The intake of the cho[+] beverage also caused a rapid decrease in plasma levels of FFA and glucagon after the run, and slightly increased plasma insulin. The results demonstrate that ingestion of a carbohydrate-containing beverage during a long-distance run affects metabolism only during the final phase of the run and during the subsequent recovery period. Moreover, carbohydrate consumption improves performance only during the final phase of a long-distance run.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung In der vorliegenden Studie wurde der Einfluß der Kohlenhydrataufnahme während eines Langstreckenlaufes über 46,6 km auf Leistungsfähigkeit, Energieumsatz und Stoffwechsel untersucht. Gut trainierte Läufer erhielten während des Laufes entweder ein kohlenhydrathaltiges (KH[+]) oder ein kohlenhydratfreies (KH[−]) Getränk. Der respiratorische Quotient (RQ), die Plasmakonzentrationen von Metaboliten des Kohlenhydrat- bzw. Fettstoffwechsels und von Hormonen (Insulin, Glucagon) wurden gemessen. Die mittlere Geschwindigkeit über die gesamte Distanz betrug 13,6 (KH[+]) bzw. 13,4 (KH[−]) km/h. Dabei war der gegen Ende des Laufes allgemein feststellbare Leistungsabfall bei Aufnahme des KH[+]-Getränkes etwas schwächer ausgeprägt als bei Aufnahme des KH[−]-Getränkes. Der RQ nahm unabhängig von der Kohlenhydrataufnahme während des gesamten Laufes annähernd linear ab. Die während des Laufes feststellbaren Veränderungen der Plasmakonzentrationen von Lactat, Freien Fettsäuren (FFS), Glycerin, D-3-Hydroxybutyrat (DHB), Glucagon und Insulin wurden durch die Kohlenhydrataufnahme nicht signifikant beeinflußt. Die Aufnahme des KH[+]-Getränkes verhinderte jedoch den unter Kontrollbedingungen gegen Ende des Laufes feststellbaren Abfall der Plasmaglucosekonzentration sowie den steilen Anstieg des Plasmaspiegels von DHB nach dem Lauf. Ferner führte die Kohlenhydrataufnahme zu einem raschen Abfall der Plasmakonzentrationen von FFS und Glucagon nach dem Lauf und erhöhte die Plasmakonzentration von Insulin geringfügig. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die exogene Zufuhr von Kohlenhydraten den Stoffwechsel erst in der Endphase eines Langstreckenlaufes sowie in der anschließenden Erholungsphase beeinflußt. Ein positiver Effekt der Kohlenhydrataufnahme auf die Leistungsfähigkeit tritt ebenfalls erst in der Endphase eines so langen Laufes auf.
