Over the last few years, portable Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) technology has been
suggested for determining metabolic/ventilator thresholds. This systematic review and meta …

Background In the last 5 years since our last systematic review, a significant number of
articles have been published on the technical aspects of muscle near-infrared spectroscopy …

Introduction Monitoring muscle metabolic activity via blood lactate is a useful tool for
understanding the physiological response to a given exercise intensity. Recent indications …

Wearable near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements of muscle oxygen saturation
(SmO2) demonstrated good test-retest reliability at rest. We hypothesized SmO2 measured …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) quantifies muscle oxygenation (SmO2) during exercise.
Muscle oxygenation response to self-paced, severe-intensity cycling remains unclear …

Inspiratory muscle warm-up (IMW) has been used as a resource to enhance exercises and
sports performance. However, there is a lack of studies in the literature addressing the …

Although in recent years near-infrared spectroscopy has been used in many sports to
monitor muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2), there is a lack of knowledge about the sex …

Compared to the determination of exercise thresholds based on systemic changes in blood
lactate concentrations or gas exchange data, the determination of breakpoints based on …

Simple Summary Different warm-ups can be used to improve physical and sports
performance. Among these strategies, we can include the pre-activation of the inspiratory …

This study focused on comparing metabolic thresholds derived from local muscle oxygen
saturation (SmO2) signals, obtained using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), with global …
