Effect of differential muscle activation patterns on muscle deoxygenation and microvascular haemoglobin regulation

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Does the presence and extent of heterogeneity in the ratio of O 2 delivery to uptake across human muscles relate specifically to different muscle activation patterns? What is the main finding and its importance? During ramp incremental knee‐extension and cycling exercise, the profiles of muscle deoxygenation (deoxy[haemoglobin + myoglobin]) and diffusive O 2 potential (total[haemoglobin +...
