[Non-invasive determination of human oxygen metabolism during exercise].
Human muscle oxygenation during exercise was studied with near - infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Ten athletes performed a 12 min aerobic cycling exercise with increasing workloads. Muscle oxygen content (OC), blood lactate (Bla) and heart rate (HR) were measured continuously throughout the test. The values measured showed a linear correlation (r = -0.962) between Bla and OC during aerobic exercise. The athletes and controls were also selected to compare the variation of OC, Bla and HR under exercise of the same workload. In addition, the muscle oxygen decrease and recovery during sprint were determined and discussed. The results demonstrated that NIRS provides an advantageous method for evaluation of oxygen supply and consumption in working muscles during exercise of varying intensity.
