Exercise Onset

We hypothesized that near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measures of hemoglobin and/or myoglobin O2 saturation (IR-So 2) in the vascular bed of exercising muscle would parallel changes in femoral venous O2 saturation (S[Formula: see text]) at the onset of leg-kicking exercise in humans. Six healthy subjects performed transitions from rest to 48 ± 3 (SE)-W two-legged kicking exercise while breathing 14, 21, or 70% inspired O2. IR-So 2 was measured over the vastus lateralis muscle continuously during all tests, and femoral venous and radial artery blood samples were drawn simultaneously during rest and during 5 min of exercise. In all gas-breathing conditions, there was a rapid decrease in both IR-So 2 and SfvO2 at the onset of moderate-intensity leg-kicking exercise. Although SfvO2 remained at low levels throughout exercise, IR-So 2increased significantly after the first minute of exercise in both normoxia and hyperoxia. Contrary to the hypothesis, these data show that NIRS does not provide a reliable estimate of hemoglobin and/or O2 saturation as reflected by direct femoral vein sampling.

Venous Oxygen Saturation

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive way of measuring muscular oxygenation. We evaluated the relationship between NIRS signal [infrared muscle oxygen saturation (IR-SO2mus)] and the femoral venous oxygen saturation (SfvO2) during cycling exercise. Six healthy subjects performed a 30-min steady-state exercise at 80% maximal oxygen uptake in normoxia and hypoxia (inspired O2 fraction = 0.105). IR-So2mus was recorded continuously throughout the tests with the NIRS probe located on the vastus lateralis. During exercise, blood samples were withdrawn every 5 min from radial artery and femoral vein catheters. In normoxia, IR-So2mus initiated a transient nonsignificant decrease at 5 min, then returned to preexercise level, whereas SfvO2 showed a fast decrease, reaching 18% saturation at 10 min without further change. By contrast, in hypoxia, IR-SO2mus and SfvO2 demonstrated a parallel decrease then stabilized at 10 min. We conclude that IR-SO2mus appears to parallel SfvO2 when both the arterial and venous oxygen contents decrease during steady-state exercise in hypoxia, whereas IR-SO2mus does not follow SfvO2 change in normoxia.

The purpose was to examine the adaptation of pulmonary O2 uptake (V̇o2p) and deoxygenation of the vastus lateralis muscle at the onset of heavy-intensity, constant-load cycling exercise in young (Y; 24 ± 4 yr; mean ± SD; n = 5) and older (O; 68 ± 3 yr; n = 6) adults. Subjects performed repeated transitions on 4 separate days from 20 W to a work rate corresponding to heavy-intensity exercise. V̇o2p was measured breath by breath. The concentration changes in oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin (HHb), and total hemoglobin/myoglobin were determined by near-infrared spectroscopy (Hamamatsu NIRO-300). V̇o2p data were filtered, interpolated to 1 s, and averaged to 5-s bins. HHb-near-infrared spectroscopy data were filtered and averaged to 5-s bins. A monoexponential model was used to fit V̇o2p [phase 2, time constant (τ) of V̇o2p] and HHb [following the time delay (TD) from exercise onset to the start of an increase in HHb] data. The τV̇o2p was slower ( P < 0.001) in O (49 ± 8 s) than Y (29 ± 4 s). The HHb TD was similar in O (8 ± 3 s) and Y (7 ± 1 s); however, the τ HHb following TD was faster ( P < 0.05) in O (8 ± 2 s) than Y (14 ± 2 s). The slower V̇o2p kinetics and faster muscle deoxygenation in O compared with Y during heavy-intensity exercise imply that the kinetics of muscle perfusion are slowed relatively more than those of V̇o2p in O. This suggests that the slowed V̇o2p kinetics in O may be a consequence of a slower adaptation of local muscle blood flow relative to that in Y.

Endurance cyclists have a substantial risk to develop flow limitations in the iliac arteries during their career. These flow limitations are due to extreme hemodynamic stress which may result in functional arterial kinking and/or intravascular lesions. Early diagnosis may improve outcome and could prevent the necessity for surgical vascular repair. However, current diagnostic techniques have unsatisfactory sensitivity and cannot be applied during exercise. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has shown great diagnostic potential in peripheral vascular disease and might bring a solution since it measures tissue oxygenation in real time during and after exercise. This report describes the first experiences of the application of NIRS in the vastus lateralis muscle during and after maximal graded cycling exercise in ten healthy participants and in three patients with flow limitations due to (1) subtle functional kinking, (2) an intravascular lesion, and (3) severe functional kinking. The results are put into perspective based on an empirically fitted model. Delayed recovery, showing clearly different types of patterns of tissue reoxygenation after exercise, was found in the affected athletes compared with the healthy participants. In the patients that had kinking of the arteries, tissue reoxygenation was clearly more delayed if NIRS was measured in provocative position with flexed hip. In this pilot experiment, clearly distinctive reoxygenation patterns are observed during recovery consistent with severity of flow limitation, indicating that NIRS is a promising diagnostic tool to detect and grade arterial flow limitations in athletes. Our findings may guide research and optimization of NIRS for future clinical application.

The combined effects of hyperventilation and arterial desaturation on cerebral oxygenation ([Formula: see text]) were determined using near-infrared spectroscopy. Eleven competitive oarsmen were evaluated during a 6-min maximal ergometer row. The study was randomized in a double-blind fashion with an inspired O2 fraction of 0.21 or 0.30 in a crossover design. During exercise with an inspired O2 fraction of 0.21, the arterial CO2 pressure (35 ± 1 mmHg; mean ± SE) and O2 pressure (77 ± 2 mmHg) as well as the hemoglobin saturation (91.9 ± 0.7%) were reduced ( P < 0.05).[Formula: see text] was reduced from 80 ± 2 to 63 ± 2% ( P < 0.05), and the near-infrared spectroscopy-determined concentration changes in deoxy- (ΔHb) and oxyhemoglobin (ΔHbO2) of the vastus lateralis muscle increased 22 ± 3 μM and decreased 14 ± 3 μM, respectively ( P < 0.05). Increasing the inspired O2fraction to 0.30 did not affect ventilation (174 ± 4 l/min), but arterial CO2 pressure (37 ± 2 mmHg), O2 pressure (165 ± 5 mmHg), and hemoglobin O2saturation (99 ± 0.1%) increased ( P < 0.05).[Formula: see text] remained close to the resting level during exercise (79 ± 2 vs. 81 ± 2%), and although the muscle ΔHb (18 ± 2 μM) and ΔHbO2 (−12 ± 3 μM) were similar to those established without O2 supplementation, work capacity increased from 389 ± 11 to 413 ± 10 W ( P < 0.05). These results indicate that an elevated inspiratory O2fraction increases exercise performance related to maintained cerebral oxygenation rather than to an effect on the working muscles.

PURPOSE CrossFit is a young sport discipline which offers varied strength and endurance training through complex exercises. Currently there are relatively few studies focusing on performance analysis in terms of the physiological response of organism. The aim of the research was to verify near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in combination with spiroergometry as a functional means for specific load testing in CrossFit. METHODS Elite crossfitter (male, age 20, body height 185 cm, body weight 87 kg) formed part of this study. Two Moxy sensors (placed on the vastus lateralis muscle and the intercostal muscles) and chest (strap) heart rate (HR) sensor were used for obtaining the data. The Cortex MetaMax 3BR2 system was used for portable spiroergometry. The AMRAP method (as many repetitions as possible) was used for testing. The selected test consisted of (1) 10 Deadlifts, 100kg, 15 Assault Air Bike Calories; (2) 12 lunges (with two 20 kg Kettlebell), 10 push-ups, 8 ring swings; (3) 20 SkiErg Calories, 10 50kg back squat, 10 toes to bar. RESULTS The testing has confirmed that breathing functions and muscle oxidation can be well observed under load in given exercises and movements. It has been confirmed that CrossFit provides a very varied load to which the organism must respond immediately. The strength load changes, causing deflection in SmO2 and VCO2 which consequently imposes demands on the respiratory component. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study which monitors the load in the combination of strength and endurance load through crossfit elements. Based on our result, it seems that linking NIRS and spirometry is a suitable combination for a comprehensive analysis of the athlete not only for CrossFit.

Muscle Deoxygenation

We assessed the time course of changes in oxygen uptake (V̇O2) and muscle deoxygenation (i.e., deoxygenated haemoglobin and myoglobin, [HHb+Mb]) kinetics during transitions to moderate-intensity cycling following 12-weeks of low-volume high-intensity interval training (HIIT) vs. moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Participants were randomly assigned to MICT (n=10, 50 min of moderate-intensity cycling), HIIT (n=9, 10x1 min at ~90% maximal heart rate) or non-exercising control (n=9) groups. Exercising groups trained 3 times per week and measurements were taken every 3 weeks. [HHb+Mb] kinetics were measured by near-infrared spectroscopy at the vastus lateralis muscle. The local matching of O2 delivery to O2 utilization was assessed by the Δ[HHb+Mb]/ΔV̇O2ratio. The pretraining time constant of the primary phase of V̇O2 (τV̇O2p ) decreased (P<0.05) at wk 3 of training in both MICT (from 44±12 to 32±5 s) and HIIT (from 42±8 to 32 ± 4 s) with no further changes thereafter; while no changes were reported in controls. The pretraining overall dynamic response of muscle deoxygenation (τ'[HHb+Mb]) was faster than τV̇O2p in all groups, resulting in Δ[HHb+Mb]/V̇O2p showing a transient "overshoot" relative to the subsequent steady-state level. After 3 wks, the Δ[HHb+Mb]/V̇O2p overshoot was eliminated only in the training groups, so that τ'[HHb+Mb] was not different to τV̇O2p in MICT and HIIT. The enhanced V̇O2 kinetics response consequent to both MICT and HIIT in T2D was likely attributed to a training-induced improvement in matching of O2 delivery to utilization.
