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 …

Pharmacological sodium nitrate supplementation has been reported to reduce the O 2 cost
of submaximal exercise in humans. In this study, we hypothesized that dietary …

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) results in a failure to adequately supply blood and oxygen
(O2) to working tissues and presents as claudication pain during walking. Nitric oxide (NO) …

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 …

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) of one or two limbs improves performance of exercise that
recruits the same limb (s). However, it is unclear whether IPC application to another limb …

We hypothesized that a short-term training program involving repeated all-out sprint training
(RST) would be more effective than work-matched, low-intensity endurance training (ET) in …

It has been suggested that a prior bout of high-intensity exercise has the potential to
enhance performance during subsequent high-intensity exercise by accelerating the O2 …

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

Background In the ICU, out-of-bed rehabilitation is often delayed and in-bed exercises are
generally low-intensity. Since the majority of rehabilitation is carried out in bed, it is essential …
