Abstract

Pulmonary gas exchange analysis was compared to changes in muscle oxygen saturation as measured by near-infrared spectroscopy. First, ventilatory thresholds determined by common gas exchange analysis and breakpoints in muscle oxygen saturation were assessed for agreement during exercise with...

Description

This study examines the relationship between muscle oxygen saturation and ventilatory thresholds during cycling and running.
