Objectives. — Muscle oxygenation capacity is a metabolic component that can influence thebilateral strength asymmetry. This study measured the muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) during aprotocol of high-intensity Results. — Greater average peak torque were found in the DL of the knee extensor muscles (DL:157 ± 28 vs. NDL: 148 ± 25; P = 0.028). Similarly, a SmO2difference (DL: 11.7 ± 10.1 vs. NDL:16.3 ± 13.2; P = 0...
Background Despite extensive research on physical activity behaviour (PAB), consensus is lacking on related terms and definitions, thereby hindering the ability to compare findings between studies and to develop reliable assessment tools. This study therefore aimed to establish consensus on the definitions of key PAB determinants. Methods First, an international expert steering committee was established, compri...
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and affects people regardless of country, age group, or sex. Using the most recent evidentiary and analytical framework from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD), we produced location-specific, age-specific, and sex-specific estimates of diabetes prevalence and burden from 1990 to 2021, the proportion of ty...
Objective: Anaerobic work capacity (AWC) is understood as the maximum power that the athlete can withstand over time, conditioned by high intensity effort and it is important to interpret it for the performance improvement. In addition, the muscle oxygen saturation (SmO 2) provides information on muscle metabolism and hemodynamics. Likewise, critical oxygenation (CO) is the highest metabolic rate that results i...

Moderate intermittent hypoxia (IH) protocols may help to restrain osteoclastic activity and/or stimulate osteoblastic activity. Therefore, whole-body vibration (WBV) combined with IH exposure may provide the most effective treatment for osteoporosis. The present randomised controlled trial investigated if normobaric IH exposure combined with WBV training over an 18-week period for the elderly is more effective ...
Abstract: Among other functions, hypoxia-inducible factor plays a critical role in bone–vascular coupling and bone formation. Studies have suggested that hypoxic conditioning could be a potential nonpharmacological strategy for treating skeletal diseases. However, there is no clear consensus regarding the bone metabolism response to hypoxia. Therefore, this review aims to examine the impact of di erent modes of...
Background Ageing is accompanied by a loss of muscle mass and function, which are associated with decrease of functional capacity. Combination of WBV training with normobaric hypoxic exposure could augment the beneficial effects due to synergic effects of both treatments. Aims The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 36 sessions of the combined WBV training and normobaric hypoxic exposure on musc...
Therapeutic benefits of hypoxic training have been suggested for clinical populations, such as elderly who could suffer loss of lower limb muscle strength and higher risk of falling. This study investigated the effects of 18 weeks of whole-body vibration (WBV) training in normobaric hypoxia on the strength parameters of an elderly population. Thirty-one healthy elderly participants were randomly assigned to a h...
