In most daily activities related to work or leisure, the energy for muscle work substantially
comes from oxidative metabolism. Functional limitations or impairments of this metabolism …

The ability to sustain submaximal exercise is largely dependent on the oxidative capacity of
mitochondria within skeletal muscle, and impairments in oxidative metabolism have been …

Background—Inorganic nitrate (NO3−), abundant in certain vegetables, is converted to
nitrite by bacteria in the oral cavity. Nitrite can be converted to nitric oxide in the setting of …

The purpose of this study was to cross-validate measurements of skeletal muscle oxidative
capacity made with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements to those made with …

Key points In vivo skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiratory capacity was determined from
the post‐exercise recovery kinetics of muscle oxygen consumption () measured using near …

Methods Twelve healthy participants performed four exhaustive severe-intensity trials for the
determination of CT, and four 30-min trials in close proximity to CT (one or two SE above or …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides a simple and reliable measure of skeletal
muscle oxidative capacity; however, its relationship to aerobic fitness and sex are unclear …

This study examined in vivo (1) skeletal muscle oxygenation and microvascular function, at
rest and during handgrip exercise, and (2) their association with macrovascular function and …

The purpose of this study was to assess the reproducibility of resting blood flow, resting
oxygen consumption, and mitochondrial capacity in skeletal muscle using near-infrared …

After spinal cord injury (SCI) skeletal muscle decreases in size, increases in intramuscular
fat, and has potential declines in mitochondrial function. Reduced mitochondrial function has …
