Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a powerful noninvasive tool with which to study the
matching of oxygen delivery to oxygen utilization and the number of new publications …

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 …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a well-known method used to measure muscle
oxygenation and hemodynamics in vivo. The application of arterial occlusions allows for the …

We tested the hypothesis that inorganic nitrate (NO3−) supplementation would improve
muscle oxygenation, pulmonary oxygen uptake (V̇o2) kinetics, and exercise tolerance …

Abstract Resting humans transport~ 100 quintillion (1018) oxygen (O2) molecules every
second to tissues for consumption. The final, short distance (< 50 µm) from capillary to the …

Resolving the bases for different physiological functioning or exercise performance within a
population is dependent on our understanding of control mechanisms. For example, when …

Three sentinel parameters of aerobic performance are the maximal oxygen uptake (), critical
power (CP) and speed of the kinetics following exercise onset. Of these, the latter is …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has become an increasingly valuable tool to monitor
tissue oxygenation (T oxy) in vivo. Observations of changes in the absorption of light with T …

Craig JC, Broxterman RM, Wilcox SL, Chen C, Barstow TJ. Effect of adipose tissue
thickness, muscle site, and sex on near-infrared spectroscopy derived total-[hemoglobin+ …

We calculated the light absorbing potential (LAP) of hemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb) in
mammalian skeletal muscle at rest based on analysis of published chemical and …
