After a long-term resistance training , healthy older adults showed enhanced muscle oxygen extraction capacity , regulation of vessels and vascular endothelium function ; endurance training is reported to improve microvascular blood flow and matching of oxygen delivery to oxygen utilization , muscle oxidative capacity and muscle saturation , and walking sessions results in better muscle oxygen availability and muscle oxygen extraction capacity in older adults with peripheral arterial disease .
This review supports the fact that depending on the clinical status of the participants and the modality , exercise training improves different aspects of the muscle oxygenation in older adults

The Effects of Walking or Walking-with-Poles Training on Tissue Oxygenation in Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease
This r and omized trial proposed to determine if there were differences in calf muscle StO2 parameters in patients before and after 12 weeks of a traditional walking or walking-with-poles exercise program .  Data were collected on 85 patients who were r and omized to a traditional walking program ( n = 40 ) or walking-with-poles program ( n = 45 ) of exercise training .  Patients walked for 3 times weekly for 12 weeks . Seventy-one patients completed both the baseline and the 12-week follow-up progressive treadmill tests ( n = 36 traditional walking and n = 35 walking-with-poles ) . Using the near-infrared spectroscopy measures , StO2 was measured prior to , during , and after exercise . At baseline , calf muscle oxygenation decreased from 56 ± 17 % prior to the treadmill test to 16 ± 18 % at peak exercise . The time elapsed prior to reaching nadir StO2 values increased more in the traditional walking group when compared to the walking-with-poles group . Likewise , absolute walking time increased more in the traditional walking group than in the walking-with-poles  group . Tissue oxygenation decline during treadmill testing was less for patients assigned to a 12-week traditional walking program when compared to those assigned to a 12-week walking-with-poles program . In conclusion , the 12-week traditional walking program was superior to walking-with-poles in improving tissue deoxygenation in patients with PAD
