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 …

Muscular exercise requires transitions to and from metabolic rates often exceeding an order
of magnitude above resting and places prodigious demands on the oxidative machinery and …

This article provides a snapshot of muscle near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at the end of
2010 summarizing the recent literature, offering the present status and perspectives of the …

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of l-citrulline (Cit) and l-arginine (Arg)
supplementation on nitric oxide (NO) biomarkers, pulmonary O 2 uptake (V̇ o 2) kinetics …

The activities of daily living typically occur at metabolic rates below the maximum rate of
aerobic energy production. Such activity is characteristic of the nonsteady state, where …

Recent research has suggested that dietary nitrate (NO3−) supplementation might alter the
physiological responses to exercise via specific effects on type II muscle. Severe-intensity …

Chronic heart failure (CHF) impairs critical structural and functional components of the O2
transport pathway resulting in exercise intolerance and, consequently, reduced quality of …

The physiological determinants of high-intensity exercise tolerance are important for both
elite human performance and morbidity, mortality and disease in clinical settings. 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 …

In the early 1960s, Norris introduced near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy (700–2500 nm) as an
analytical technique for agricultural products. In 1977, Jöbsis founded in vivo medical NIR …
