Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) may provide valuable insight into the determinants of
exercise performance. We examined the effects of severe hypoxia on cerebral (prefrontal …

Utilization of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in clinical exercise testing to detect
microvascular abnormalities requires characterization of the responses in healthy …

Time-resolved near-infrared spectroscopy (TRS-NIRS) allows absolute quantitation of
deoxygenated haemoglobin and myoglobin concentration (HHb) in skeletal muscle. We …

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of assuming constant reduced scattering
coefficient (μ) on the muscle oxygenation response to incremental exercise and its recovery …

We calculated the light absorbing potential (LAP) of hemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb) in
mammalian skeletal muscle at rest based on analysis of published chemical and …

It is axiomatic that greater aerobic fitness (V̇O2peak) derives from enhanced perfusive and
diffusive O2 conductances across active muscles. However, it remains unknown how these …

Purpose The study aimed to examine the relationship between near-infrared spectroscopy
(NIRS) signals and venous hemoglobin oxygen saturation (O2Hb%) and venous oxygen …

TO THE EDITOR: In a recent article, RC Davies et al.(2) presented the results of a study
investigating the effect of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage on the dynamics of …

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 …

Using continuous-wave near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), this study compared three
different methods, namely the slope method (SM), the amplitude method (AM), and the area …
