Measurement of muscle blood flow and O2 uptake via near-infrared spectroscopy using a novel occlusion protocol

Abstract We describe here a novel protocol that sequentially combines venous followed by arterial occlusions to determine muscle blood flow and O2 uptake from a single measurement point using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during handgrip exercise. NIRS data were obtained from the flexor digitoru...
