Muscle Oxygenation Overview

Muscle Oxygenation refers to the flux of oxygen within a target tissue as the result of oxidative respiration. Delivery of oxygenated blood from the heart & lungs and uptake or extraction of oxygen by the mitochondria within the local muscle. This is measured with a technology called near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)

My name is Jem Arnold

I write about physiology and endurance training optimization.

I’m an Exercise Physiology PhD student, Physiotherapist, and endurance coach/consultant.

I try to integrate ideas from the perspectives of an athlete, health professional, coach, researcher, and especially as a curious enthusiast who just wants to learn from the smartest people in whatever virtual room I find myself in.

Everything written is my own inexpert opinion. Any good ideas should be attributed to all of the smart people I have learned from. Any bad ideas are due to my own temporary misunderstanding. My current opinions will most certainly change as I continue to learn. Nothing written constitutes professional advice.
