Background: The relationship between exercise and cerebral oxygenation has gained increasing attention. However, few studies have investigated the correlation between exercise and cerebral oxygenation in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases.
Objectives: To investigate the correlation between exercise and cerebral oxygenation in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases.
Methods: Thirty eligible patients with cardiopulmonary diseases underwent incremental cardiopulmonary exercising test (CPET) and near-infrared spectroscopy with both right and left sensors placed at the mid forehead to detect oxygen saturation of cerebral tissue (STO2). Parameters of cerebral oxygenation and exercise intensity were collected and analyzed.
Results: The average age of the patients was 51.17 ± 10.21 years and included 23 males and 7 females. The average maximal STO2 of the left and right brain during CPET were 51.850 ± 1.57% and 51.755 ± 1.90%, respectively. Meanwhile, mean oxygen consumption (VO2) while reaching maximal STO2 was 4.42 ± 1.05 metabolic equivalents (METs) over the left brain and 4.34 ± 1.17 METs over the right brain. The exercise intensity upon reaching maximal STO2 was 84.91 ± 11.70% over the left brain and 83.16 ± 14.64% over the right brain. Peak VO2 was significantly correlated to VO2 upon reaching maximal STO2 over the left and right brain (R = 0.805, p < 0.001 and R = 0.739, p < 0.001, respectively). Age was significantly negatively correlated to VO2 upon maximal STO2 over the left and right brain (R = -0.378, p = 0.039 and R = -0.513, p = 0.004, respectively).
Conclusions: Cerebral oxygenation increases with higher exercise intensity, and it reaches a maximal STO2 between respiratory compensation point and peak exercise. The higher the peak VO2, the better the VO2 upon reaching maximal STO2.

Intramuscular blood flow and muscle oxygenation of the vastus lateralis response to intermittent incremental muscle contractions.

Power Doppler ultrasonography is used to measure blood flow within a given muscle, otherwise known as intramuscular blood flow. However, it is not fully understood how intramuscular blood flow and muscle oxygenation change with repetitive muscle contraction. The present study was conducted to assess changes in intramuscular blood flow and muscle oxygenation of the vastus lateralis (VL) during intermittent and incremental contractions.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated sex differences in microvascular reperfusion as measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during a vascular occlusion test (VOT) with a focus on healthy active males and females.
- Results showed that females had greater adipose tissue thickness, which was linked to lower tissue saturation index (StO) and oxygenated hemoglobin (OHb) signal ranges, affecting the assessment of reperfusion.
- When correcting for adipose tissue thickness, sex differences in NIRS-derived measures of reperfusion disappeared, indicating that factors like tissue composition must be considered in such analyses.

Frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (FD-NIRS) has been used for non-invasive assessment of cortical oxygenation since the late 1990s. However, there is limited research demonstrating clinical validity and general reproducibility. To address this limitation, recording duration for adequate validity and within- and between-day reproducibility of prefrontal cortical oxygenation was evaluated.

Objective: We examined sex-specific microvascular reactivity and hemodynamic responses under conditions of augmented resting blood flow induced by passive heating compared to normal blood flow.
Methods: Thirty-eight adults (19 females) completed a vascular occlusion test (VOT) on two occasions preceded by rest with or without passive heating in a randomized, counterbalanced order. Skeletal muscle tissue oxygenation (StO, %) was assessed with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and the rate of desaturation and resaturation as well as maximal StO (StO) and prolonged hypersaturation (area under the curve, StO) were quantified.
