In the last decade the study of the human brain and muscle energetics underwent a radical
change, thanks to the progressive introduction of noninvasive techniques, including near …

Over the past 15 years the use of near infrared spectroscopy in exercise and sports science
has increased exponentially. The majority of these studies have used this noninvasive …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was initiated in 1977 by Jobsis as a simple, noninvasive
method for measuring the presence of oxygen in muscle and other tissues in vivo. This …

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is becoming a widely used research instrument to
measure tissue oxygen (O2) status non‐invasively. Continuous‐wave spectrometers are the …

There is growing interest in resistance training, but many aspects related to this type of
exercise are still not fully understood. Performance varies substantially depending on how …

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) has been shown to be one of the tools that can measure
oxygenation in muscle and other tissues in vivo. This review paper highlights the progress …

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 …
