Introduction The purpose of this study was to assess oxygenation and neuromuscular
activation of the quadriceps femoris muscle group, including the vastus intermedius (VI) …

Muscle oxygenation responses are reportedly greater in the distal muscle region than in the
proximal muscle region. We combined near infrared spectroscopy and electromyography …

Previous studies have reported for the vastus lateralis (VL) that the extent of muscle
hypertrophy in response to resistance training is greater in the distal than in the middle …

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether changes in angular velocity would alter
vastus lateralis (VL) and rectus femoris (RF) oxygenation status during maximal isokinetic …

Fatigue resistance of knee extensor muscles is higher during voluntary isometric
contractions at short compared with longer muscle lengths. In the present study we …

Recently, fatigability and muscle oxygen consumption (m VO 2) during sustained isometric
contractions were found to be less at shorter (30° knee angle; 0°= full extension) compared …

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of hypoxia on deoxygenation and
neuromuscular activation in synergistic quadriceps femoris (QF) muscles (ie, the rectus …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of eccentric contraction velocity on
quadriceps oxygen dynamics. Fifteen healthy male volunteers were tested eccentrically at …

It is not clear whether muscle oxygenation (O 2-NIRS) measured by near-infrared
spectroscopy (NIRS) correlates with femoral venous SO 2 (S fv o 2) during normoxic …

Background Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used to assess muscle oxygenation (MO)
within skeletal muscle at rest and during aerobic exercise. Previous investigations have …
