The purpose of this study was to cross-validate measurements of skeletal muscle oxidative
capacity made with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements to those made with …

The measurement of human muscle size is essential when assessing the effects of training,
disuse and ageing. The considered 'gold standard'for cross-sectional area measurements of …

Skeletal muscle atrophy is evident after muscle disuse, unloading, or spaceflight and results
from decreased protein content as a consequence of decreased protein synthesis …

After spinal cord injury (SCI) skeletal muscle decreases in size, increases in intramuscular
fat, and has potential declines in mitochondrial function. Reduced mitochondrial function has …

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 …

Non‐technical summary The mechanisms determining exercise intolerance are poorly
understood. A reduction in work efficiency in the form of an additional energy cost and …

Skeletal muscle fibers generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) at a number of subcellular
sites and this generation is increased by contractile activity. Early studies suggested that …

The effects of prolonged severe hypoxia on human performance capacity and muscle
structure and function have recently been studied during real and simulated ascents to Mt …

Although there is growing interest in studying muscle distribution, regional skeletal muscle
(SM) mass measurement methods remain limited. The aim of the present study was to …
