Contrast baths, intramuscular hemodynamics, and oxygenation as monitored by near-infrared spectroscopy

Context: Contrast baths (CB) is a thermal treatment modality used in sports medicine, athletic training, and rehabilitation settings. Proposed physiological effects of CB include increasing tissue blood flow and oxygenation and decreasing tissue …

Subcutaneous and intramuscular hemodynamics and oxygenation after cold-spray application as monitored by near-infrared spectroscopy

Context: Vapocoolant spray, commonly known as cold spray (CS), is a cryotherapy modality used in sports medicine, athletic training, and rehabilitation settings. Proposed physiologic effects of cryotherapy modalities include reductions in tissue …
