Effects of graded hypoxia during exhaustive intermittent cycling on subsequent exercise performance and neuromuscular responses

This study examined the effect of graded hypoxia during exhaustive intermittent cycling on subsequent exercise performance and neuromuscular fatigue characteristics in normoxia. Fifteen well-trained cyclists performed an exhaustive intermittent …

Men exhibit faster skeletal muscle tissue desaturation than women before and after a fatiguing handgrip

The purpose was to test the hypothesis that sex and fatigue effect of the early phase of skeletal muscle tissue oxygenation (StO2, %) desaturation rate as well as that strength matched adults may exhibit similar responses. Twenty-four adults visited …

Running exercise with end-expiratory breath holding up to the breaking point induces large and early fall in muscle oxygenation

The goal of this study was to assess the effects of repeated running bouts with end-expiratory breath holding (EEBH) up to the breaking point on muscle oxygenation. Eight male runners participated in three randomised sessions each including two …
