The present study investigated the maintenance/repeatability of expiratory flow limitation (EFL) between normoxia and hypoxia. Fifty-one healthy active individuals (27 men and 24 women) performed a lung function test and a maximal incremental …
Background: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides a non-invasive, cost-effective method for assessing skeletal muscle oxidative capacity when combined with a short exercise protocol and arterial occlusions. However, the impact of different …
Microvascular autoregulation (MA) maintains adequate tissue perfusion over a range of arterial blood pressure (ABP) and is frequently impaired in critical illness. MA has been studied in the brain to derive personalized hemodynamic targets after …
Purpose: To examine the effect of normobaric hypoxia on pulmonary oxygen uptake (VO2) and muscle oxygenation kinetics during incremental and moderate-intensity exercise in children. Methods: Eight prepubertal boys (9–11 y) performed incremental cycle …
Purpose: The critical force (CF) concept, differentiating steady and non-steady state conditions, extends the critical power paradigm for sport climbing. This study aimed to validate CF for finger flexors derived from the 4 min all-out test as a …
Introduction: Supervised exercise training is among the first-line therapies for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Current recommendations for exercise include guidance focusing on claudication pain, programme and session duration, and …
