Effects of inspiratory muscle warm-up on locomotor muscle oxygenation in elite speed skaters during 3000 m time trials

Purpose: It has been shown that an inspiratory muscle warm-up (IMW) could enhance performance. IMW may also improve the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-derived tissue oxygen saturation index (TSI) during cycling. However, there exists contradictory …

Effect of prior exercise on pulmonary O2 uptake and estimated muscle capillary blood flow kinetics during moderate-intensity field running in men

The effect of prior exercise on pulmonary O2 uptake (V̇O2 p) and estimated muscle capillary blood flow (Q̇m) kinetics during moderate-intensity, field-based running was examined in 14 young adult men, presenting with either moderately fast (16 s
