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 …

In the healthy, untrained young adult, a case is made for a respiratory system (airways,
pulmonary vasculature, lung parenchyma, respiratory muscles, and neural ventilatory …

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 …

Inspiratory muscle warm-up (IMW) has been used as a resource to enhance exercises and
sports performance. However, there is a lack of studies in the literature addressing the …

This study assessed the intra-individual reliability of oxygen saturation in intercostal muscles
(SmO2-m. intercostales) during an incremental maximal treadmill exercise by using portable …

Purpose To compare methods of relative intensity prescription for their ability to normalise
performance (ie, time to exhaustion), physiological, and perceptual responses to high …

This study examines the effects of inspiratory muscle warm-up (IMW) on performance and
muscle oxygenation during cycling exercise. In a randomized crossover study of 10 female …

High-intensity exercises including tethered efforts are commonly used in training programs
for athletes, active and even sedentary individuals. Despite this, the knowledge about the …

The study aimed to evaluate the association between the changes in ventilatory variables
(tidal volume (Vt), respiratory rate (RR) and lung ventilation (V. E)) and deoxygenation of m …

The Q-LAC analyzer, a portable device employing near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), was
designed to measure muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) during physical exercise. This study …
