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 Wearable near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements of muscle oxygen
saturation (SmO2) demonstrated good test–retest reliability at rest. We hypothesized SmO2 …

Key points Fatigue and muscle pain induced in a remote muscle group has been shown to
alter neuromuscular performance in exercising muscles. Inhibitory neural feedback …

Although aging has been associated to slower V˙ O2 kinetics, some evidence indicates that
fitness status and not aging per se might modulate this response. The main goal of this study …

Although in recent years near-infrared spectroscopy has been used in many sports to
monitor muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2), there is a lack of knowledge about the sex …

Abstract Fleitas-Paniagua, PR, de Almeida Azevedo, R, Trpcic, M, Murias, JM, and Rogers,
B. Combining near-infrared spectroscopy and heart rate variability derived thresholds to …

Compared to the determination of exercise thresholds based on systemic changes in blood
lactate concentrations or gas exchange data, the determination of breakpoints based on …

It is typically assumed that in the context of double-leg cycling, dominant (DOMLEG) and
nondominant legs (NDOMLEG) have similar aerobic capacity and both contribute equally to …

The relationship between the muscle deoxygenation breakpoint (Deoxy-BP) measured with
near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and the respiratory compensation point (RCP) has been …

We investigated effects of molecular hydrogen (H2) supplementation on acid-base status,
pulmonary gas exchange responses, and local muscle oxygenation during incremental …
