Purpose: Although sport climbing is a self-paced whole-body activity, speed varies with climbing style, and the effect of this on systemic and localized oxygen responses is not well understood. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine muscle and pulmonary oxygen responses during submaximal climbing at differing speeds of ascent. Methods: Thirty-two intermediate and advanced sport climbers completed three 4-minute-long ascents of the same route at 4, 6, and 9 m·min−1 on a motorized climbing ergometer (treadwall) on separate laboratory visits. Gas analysis and near-infrared spectroscopy were used to determine systemic oxygen uptake () and muscle oxygen saturation (StO2) of the flexor digitorum profundus. Results: Increases in ascent speed of 1 m·min−1 led to increases of by 2.4 mL·kg−1·min−1 (95% CI, 2.1 to 2.8 mL·kg−1·min−1) and decreases in StO2 by −1.3% (95% CI, 1.9% to −0.7%). There was a significant interaction of climbing ability and speed for StO2 (P < .001, ). The results revealed that the decrease of StO2 was present for intermediate but not advanced climbers. Conclusions: In this study, the results suggest that demand during climbing was largely determined by climbing speed; however, the ability level of the climber appeared to mitigate StO2 at a cellular level. Coaches and instructors may prescribe climbing ascents with elevated speed to improve generalized cardiorespiratory fitness. To stimulate localized aerobic capacity, however, climbers should perhaps increase the intensity of training ascents through the manipulation of wall angle or reduction of hold size.

Context: Muscle dysfunction is common in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Blood flow restriction (BFR) may enhance muscle responses during exercise and provide an opportunity to enhance muscle adaptations to ankle rehabilitation exercises; however, there is no evidence examining the effect of BFR on muscle function in CAI patients. Objective: Examine the effects of BFR on muscle activation and oxygen saturation during submaximal ankle eversion and dorsiflexion exercises in individuals with CAI. Design: Cross-over study design. Setting: Laboratory setting. Patients (or Other Participants): Nineteen young adults with a history of CAI. Interventions: Participants performed 4 sets (30, 15, 15, and 15) of eversion and dorsiflexion resistance exercises at 30% of maximum voluntary isometric contraction during 2 conditions, BFR and control. For BFR, a cuff was applied above the knee at 80% of blood flow occlusion. For control, the cuff was not inflated. Main Outcome Measures: Fibularis longus and tibialis anterior electromyography muscle activation, lower-leg muscle oxygen saturation, and ratings of perceived exertion were recorded during exercises. Results: Average grand mean muscle activation was 5.6% greater during eversion (P = .03) and 7.7% greater during dorsiflexion (P = .01) resistance exercises with BFR compared with control; however, the magnitudes of the effects of BFR were only clinically important during the dorsiflexion exercises. Lower-leg muscle oxygen saturation was 31% to 44% lower (P < .001) during BFR exercises. Ratings of perceived exertion were significantly higher during BFR exercises (P < .001). Conclusions: Greater muscle activation and hypoxia were present during submaximal resistance exercise with BFR in participants with CAI. Greater muscle activation and hypoxia during BFR exercises may be important acute responses mediating the training-related muscle adaptations that have been observed with BFR. The presence of these acute responses in CAI patients supports further research examining BFR as a potential ankle rehabilitation tool.

Vascular Biomarkers

We determined whether calf muscle oxygen saturation (StO2) and vascular biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress were associated with an exercise pressor response during treadmill walking in 179 patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD). The exercise pressor response was measured as the change in blood pressure from rest to the end of the first 2-minute treadmill stage (2 mph, 0% grade). There was a wide range in the change in systolic blood pressure (−46 to 50 mm Hg) and in diastolic blood pressure (−23 to 38 mm Hg), with mean increases of 4.3 and 1.4 mm Hg, respectively. In multiple regression analyses, significant predictors of systolic pressure included glucose ( P < .001) and insulin ( P = .039). Significant predictors of diastolic pressure included cultured endothelial cell apoptosis ( P = .019), the percentage drop in exercise calf muscle (StO2; P = .023), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( P = .032), and glucose ( P = .033). Higher levels in pro-inflammatory vascular biomarkers, impaired calf muscle StO2 during exercise, and elevated blood glucose were independently associated with greater exercise pressor response in patients with symptomatic PAD. The clinical implication is that exercise and nutritional interventions designed to improve inflammation, microcirculation, and glucose metabolism may also lower blood pressure during exercise in patients with symptomatic PAD.
