Abstract

Use of muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) has been validated as a performance factor during incremental exercise with portable near-infrared stereoscopy (NIRS) technology. However, there is little knowledge about the use of SmO2 to identify training zones. The objective of this study was to...
