Skeletal muscle dysfunction after critical illness, defined as ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-
AW), is a complex and multifactorial syndrome that contributes significantly to long-term …

In the past two decades oxygenation responses to incremental ramp exercise, measured
non-invasively by means of near-infrared spectroscopy at different locations in the body …

Purpose We tested the hypothesis that CP, RCP, MLSS, and [HHb] BP occur at the same
metabolic intensity by examining the pulmonary oxygen uptake (V) O2p and power output …

Exercising at the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) results in increased but stable
metabolic responses. We tested the hypothesis that even a slight increase above MLSS (10 …

Introduction Monitoring muscle metabolic activity via blood lactate is a useful tool for
understanding the physiological response to a given exercise intensity. Recent indications …

Purpose Time-Resolved Near Infrared Spectroscopy (TR-NIRS) was used to quantify tissue
oxy-and deoxy-hemoglobin concentrations ([HbO 2],[HbR]), and O 2 saturation (stO 2) in the …

Muscle deoxygenation (ie, deoxy [Hb+ Mb]) during exercise assesses the matching of
oxygen delivery (Q̇o2) to oxygen utilization (V̇o2). Until now limitations in near-infrared …

Purpose This study longitudinally examined the interchangeable use of critical power (CP),
the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) and the respiratory compensation point (RCP)(ie …

Objectives We tested the hypothesis that the respiratory compensation point can be
accurately determined in healthy participants during incremental cycling exercise using non …

Background Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements of oxygenation reflect O2
delivery and utilization in exercising muscle and may improve detection of a critical exercise …
