The aim was to examine the association between this breakpoint (NIRS) and VT2 in welltrained runners.Gas exchange and NIRS data were collected during an incremental VO2max running test for 10 well-trained runners.The breakpoint calculated in oxygen saturation (StO2) and the VT2 were determined and compared in terms relative to %VO2max, absolute speed, VO2 and maximum heart rate (HRmax).There were no significant differences between the breakpoint in StO2 and VT2 relative to %VO2max (87.00±6.14 an...
Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
