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
AIM To determine the effects of different modality of exercise training programs on muscle oxygenation in older adults .
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Assessment Following Exercise Training in Patients With Intermittent Claudication and in Untrained Healthy Participants
Selected near-infrared spectroscopy ( NIRS ) parameters were assessed in healthy untrained participants and in peripheral arterial disease ( PAD ) trained patients to evaluate their usefulness in rehabilitative outcome . Forty-five PAD and 15 healthy participants were studied at entry and at 34 ± 2 weeks . Healthy participants performed their usual activities . Patients with PAD performed 2 home-based programs : structured at prescribed pace ( S-pre , n = 31 ) and unstructured at free pace ( U-free , n = 14 ) . We measured ankle – brachial index ( ABI ) , NIRS calf oxygen consumption at rest , NIRS dynamic muscle perfusion during an incremental test , and walking capacity . In all patients with PAD the NIRS parameters significantly increased approaching the stable values of untrained healthy participants . Among PAD , only S-pre group showed significant improvements in hemodynamic , functional , and NIRS parameters with selective adaptations in the worse legs . The assessment of NIRS parameters , that were found stable without training in healthy and modified in PAD only following structured training , might outline the local exercise-induced adaptations
