Kinetics of phosphorus metabolites in human soleus (SOL) and gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscles were measured during and after plantar flexion exercise bouts with varying workloads, using single-shot localized MRS (semi-LASER) at high time resolution with a custom multichannel 1H/31P coil at 7T. PCr recovery time τ was successfully quantified in GM and in SOL. In GM, τ showed positive correlation with exercise intensity and GM PCr depletion. In SOL, these correlations were not found, e.g. some datapoints with strong depletion in SOL even showed a τ of only 20s. pH in GM was also correlated to PCr depletion.
