“…A number of studies have confirmed regional differences in muscle oxygenation and blood volume patterns (derived with near infrared spectroscopy) within a particular muscle during exercise (Esaki et al, 2005;Kennedy et al, 2006;Miura, McCully, Nioka, & Chance, 2004;Mizuno, Tokizawa, Iwakawa, & Muraoka, 2004;Quaresima, Colier, van der Sluijs, & Ferrari, 2001;Quaresima, Ferrari, Franceschini, Hoimes, & Fantini, 2004;Torricelli et al, 2004). In general, the magnitudes of responses in these parameters differ considerably intramuscularly, with greater changes associated with the distal than the proximal muscle region.…”

Muscle oxygenation responses are reportedly greater in the distal muscle region than in the proximal muscle region. We combined near infrared spectroscopy and electromyography (EMG) to determine whether regional differences in oxygenation are associated with differences in (1) muscle activation and/or (2) fatigue development. Nine males performed 2-min sustained isometric knee extensions at 15% and 30% maximum voluntary contraction during which oxygenation and EMG were recorded simultaneously from proximal and distal locations of the vastus lateralis muscle. Near infrared spectroscopy variables for oxygen saturation (StO(2)%) were initial slope at contraction onset, peak drop, and recovery slope at contraction end. Electromyography produced the root mean square to indicate muscle activation and mean power frequency changes over time (decreasing slope) to indicate fatigue development. For StO(2)%, significantly greater peak drop and steeper recovery slope were found for the distal muscle region than for the proximal muscle region. Root mean square, however, was not different between locations. Mean power frequency decreased throughout the contractions but changes were not different between locations. Our results indicate that for modest submaximal contractions, regional differences in oxygenation are not associated with differences in muscle activation or with fatigue development (as interpreted by changes in mean power frequency over time).

“…NIRS measurements were obtained using a commercially available dual‐channel frequency‐domain system (ISS OxiplexTS Oximeter, Model 96208, ISS Inc., Champaign, IL, USA), with identical NIRS probes for each channel. The NIRS system, which has been previously described (Quaresima et al. , 2004), comprised an optical detector and a light source deploying wavelengths of 690 and 830 nm.…”

SummaryThe purpose of this study was to investigate changes in muscle oxygenation and blood flow within vastus lateralis after an exhaustive session of downhill walking (DW). Nine healthy males performed 40-min DW on a treadmill with a gradient of )25% and at walking velocity of 6AE4 km h )1 . To increase the likelihood that DW would induce muscle damage, subjects were loaded with 5% of their body weight carried in a back pack. Before and after DW exercise on day 1 and over the next 4 days, maximum voluntary contractions (MVCs), subjectsÕ perception of muscle soreness (SOR), plasma creatine kinase (CK) activity and myoglobin (Mb) concentrations, and muscle oxygenation (using near infrared spectroscopy; NIRS) within vastus lateralis were assessed. Repeated-measures ANOVA revealed that MVC decreased while SOR and Mb concentration increase significantly (P<0AE05) after DW, consistent with its effectiveness to evoke muscle damage. Resting tissue oxygen saturation increased immediately after DW, but recovered within 24 h. During isometric contractions at 30%, 50% and 80% of MVC, oxygen desaturation and re-saturation kinetics became significantly faster than pre-exercise values. The possible mechanism responsible for these changes might be increased resting muscle oxygen utilization after muscle damage because of an increased requirement for aerobic energy-demanding repair processes.

“…The absolute optical pathlength can be measured by NIRS methodologies, including time-resolved spectroscopy (NIR TRS ) and phase modulation spectroscopy (NIR PMS ) [19]. Nevertheless, there are limited data available regarding changes in optical pathlength during varying interventions, such as arterial occlusion, muscular contractions and recovery from hyperaemia, although it has been reported that changes in pathlength were less than 10 per cent during and after the end of arterial occlusion and during exercise [20,21].…”

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been shown to be one of the tools that can measure oxygenation in muscle and other tissues in vivo. This review paper highlights the progress, specifically in this decade, that has been made for evaluating skeletal muscle oxygenation and oxidative energy metabolism in sport, health and clinical sciences. Development of NIRS technologies has focused on improving quantification of the signal using multiple wavelengths to solve for absorption and scattering coefficients, multiple pathlengths to correct for the influence of superficial skin and fat, and time-resolved and phase-modulated light sources to determine optical pathlengths. In addition, advances in optical imaging with multiple source and detector pairs as well as portability using small wireless detectors have expanded the usefulness of the devices. NIRS measurements have provided information on oxidative metabolism in various athletes during localized exercise and whole-body exercise, as well as training-induced adaptations. Furthermore, NIRS technology has been used in the study of a number of chronic health conditions. Future developments of NIRS technology will include enhancing signal quantification. In addition, advances in NIRS imaging and portability promise to transform how measurements of oxygen utilization are obtained in the future.
