Article Synopsis
- The gold standard for measuring aerobic capacity in athletes is the VO2-max test, but it doesn't provide insights into muscular metabolic changes.
- Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a new technology that measures local oxygen levels in tissues, helping assess both breathing costs and muscle workload during exercise.
- By analyzing changes in oxygen levels and tissue saturation, coaches and exercise physiologists can identify limitations in endurance training, improving athletic performance through tailored strategies.
Background: Sensory disturbances in fibromyalgia extend beyond nociception. It has been proposed that imbalance in the mutual competition between painful input and non-painful sensory activity may, to a significant extent, account for the augmented subjective perception of pain. In this context, non-nociceptive somatosensory stimulation could arguably attenuate fibromyalgia symptoms by restoring the sensory balance.
