Measurement of regional forearm muscle haemodynamics via the near-infrared spectroscopy venous occlusion technique: The impact of hand circulatory occlusion

The purpose of this study was to examine whether circulatory occlusion of the hand impacts on regional forearm muscle haemodynamics as determined by the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) venous occlusion technique (NIRSVOT). Twenty-five young, …

Adipose tissue thickness affects in vivo quantitative near-IR spectroscopy in human skeletal muscle

The influence of adipose tissue thickness (ATT) on near-IR spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements in vivo was studied in the human flexor digitorum superficialis muscle at rest and during sustained isometric handgrip exercise. NIRS was used for the …

Performance of near-infrared spectroscopy in measuring local O2 consumption and blood flow in skeletal muscle

The aim of this study was to investigate local muscle O2 consumption (muscVO2) and forearm blood flow (FBF) in resting and exercising muscle by use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and to compare the results with the global muscVO2 and FBF …
