What is it about?

Assessing inspiratory muscle deoxygenation and blood flow can provide insight into anaerobic stress, recruitment strategies and mechanisms of inspiratory muscle limitation. Therefore, this review aimed to synthesize measurements of inspiratory muscle deoxygenation and flow of the inspiratory muscles acquired via near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during exercise.

Why is it important?

Evaluating inspiratory muscle deoxygenation via NIRS can inform mechanisms of inspiratory muscle limitation in non-athletes, athletes and patients with CHF or COPD.

Perspectives

These data further strengthen the importance of evaluating inspiratory muscle deoxygenation and point to future avenues of inquiry .
