Objective: Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been suggested as a new diagnostic tool in patients with lower extremity artery disease (LEAD). The aim of this systematic review was to summarise the impact of exercise therapy on lower limb muscle oxygenation, evaluated by NIRS, in patients with LEAD, and to give an overview on NIRS instruments and methodology.
Data Sources: MEDLINE and Embase.
Review Methods: A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE and Embase, from the earliest date available until 16 March 2020, to identify peer reviewed studies involving the use of NIRS in the evaluation of exercise training on muscle oxygenation in patients with LEAD. Primary outcomes were NIRS derived variables during treadmill exercise. Effect sizes were calculated as standardised mean differences. Assessment of methodological quality was done using a combined checklist from the Cochrane bias and the quality assessment tool for before and after studies without a control group.
Results: Eleven original trials were included involving 16 exercise groups and four control groups. Tissue saturation index (TSI) at rest remained unchanged following the exercise interventions. Exercise training increased time to minimum TSI during exercise (range effect sizes: +0.172 to +0.927). In addition, exercise training led to a faster recovery to half and full TSI rest values in most intervention groups (range effect sizes -0.046 to -0.558 and -0.269 to -0.665, respectively). Finally, NIRS data reproducibility and analytic methods were under reported in the included studies.
Conclusion: The available data suggest that exercise training improves de-oxygenation and re-oxygenation patterns, as measured with NIRS, in patients with LEAD. Whereas NIRS is a promising tool in the evaluation of LEAD, the low number of randomised controlled trials, as well as large heterogeneity in NIRS assessment methods, outcome measures, and instrumentation, warrants more research to better understand the role of muscle oxygenation associated with exercise induced improvements in walking capacity.

Background: Physical activity, such as running, protects against cardiovascular disease and obesity but can induce oxidative stress. Athletes often consume antioxidants to counteract the overproduction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species during exercise. , particularly its phycocyanin content, activates the Nrf2 pathway, stimulating antioxidant responses.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells' (PBMCs) mitochondrial respiration is impaired and likely involved in myocardial injury and heart failure pathophysiology, but its response to acute and severe hypoxia, often associated with such diseases, is largely unknown in humans. We therefore determined the effects of acute hypoxia on PBMC mitochondrial respiration and ROS production in healthy volunteers exposed to controlled oxygen reduction, achieving an inspired oxygen fraction of 10.5%.

: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the functional capacity of post-COVID-19 patients with a control group and analyze cardiac hemodynamics and muscle tissue oxygenation responses during assessment protocols in both groups. : A cross-sectional study was conducted involving patients with COVID-19 and a control group who were all aged ≥18 years. Participants underwent two functional capacity tests: the one-minute sit-stand test (1-STS) and the six-minute walk test (6MWT).

Post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS) is characterized by the persistence of one or more symptoms after the acute phase, leading to physical disabilities. This study aims to investigate whether the functional capacity and respiratory function 120 days post-COVID-19 differed according to the level of respiratory support needed during hospitalization in acute COVID-19 in the pre-vaccine rollout period. We followed up with 118 COVID-19 hospitalized patients in the acute phase until 120 days post-acute disease, with patients split into a Non-Invasive Oxygen Therapy Group (OTG, n = 72), Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Group (IMV, n = 12), and Room Air Group (RAG, n = 34), assessing the body composition, respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, functional capacity, and muscle strength at the follow-up visit.
