Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of phosphocreatine (PCr) decay
Time Frame: Hour 2

The PCr decay (rate of PCr breakdown during ischemia) will be used to measure the ATP turnover rates (ATPase).

After the baseline is established, the volunteer will be asked to perform contractions of the quadriceps (by slight kicking) for up to 45 seconds.

. After kicking is stopped, the volunteer will remain still for an additional 5 minutes in order to allow the PCr peak to return to baseline. The ATPase experiment will also be performed by acquiring 31P Spectra every 6 seconds.

Hour 2
Rate of oxygen uptake
Time Frame: Hour 2
OS will be used to measure the oxygen (O2) uptake by following the rate of Hb-O2 and Mb-O2 deoxygenation during ischemia. The rate of the depletion of these O2 stores measures the rate of O2 uptake by the mitochondria. The Horbia Jobin Yvon optical system will be used. The OS acquisition procedure has been thoroughly described by Marcinek et.al
Hour 2
