Introduction: The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship between upper leg muscle fatigue and physiological fatigue during a maximal exercise test. Methods: A total of 13, trained athletes participated and were tested for maximal oxygen uptake (VO2peak). Throughout the test, oxygen uptake respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and heart rate (HR) were recorded simultaneously with surface electromyography (sEMG) electrodes utilizing wearable sEMG compression short technology. Results: During the maximal exercise test, there were significant positive relationships between Muscle Load and all physiological measures (p < 0.001 for all) and significant negative relationships between sEMG frequency and Muscle Load and all physiological measures of fatigue (p < 0.001 for all). Conclusions: Using sEMG wearable compression short technology may be a useful way to measure and monitor muscle strain and fatigue, primarily outside of a laboratory setting.

Introduction: Assessing muscle electromyography (EMG) in conjunction with physiological alterations to exercise may be valuable to determine a more holistic approach to exercise-induced fatigue. Methods: Thirteen, recreationally trained individuals (n = 7 female, n = 6 males) underwent a maximal exercise test. Throughout the test, physiological variables were measured in addition to surface electromyography (sEMG) of the upper legs. Physiological and sEMG data was then grouped in to four category thresholds based on respiratory exchange ratios (RER) greater than 0.95. Results: There was a main effect of group (p < 0.001) as an increase in exercise intensity assessed by RER threshold ranges resulted in a subsequent reductions in sEMG frequencies with the exception of the sEMG frequencies recorded at VO2peak (p < 0.055). Conclusions: Upper leg sEMG frequencies decrease with increases in high intensity exercise, with the exception of near maximal loads.

The aim of the study was to examine submaximal and maximal physiological responses and perceived exertion during deep-water running with a vest compared with the responses during treadmill running in healthy elderly women. Eleven healthy women 70 ± 2 years old participated. On two different occasions they performed a graded maximal exercise test on a treadmill on land and a graded maximal exercise test in water wearing a vest. At maximal work the oxygen uptake was 29% lower (p < .05), the heart rate was 8% lower (p < .05), and the ventilation was 16% lower (p < .05) during deep-water running than during treadmill running. During submaximal absolute work the heart rate was higher during deep-water running than during treadmill running for the elderly women. The participants had lower maximal oxygen uptake, heart rate, ventilation, respiratory-exchange ratio, and rate of perceived exertion during maximal deep-water running with a vest than during maximal treadmill running. These responses were, however, higher during submaximal deep-water running than during treadmill running.
