Upper Extremity and Muscle Oxygenation

March 15, 2024 updated by: Tuna Sümer, Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi

Investigation of the Correlation Between Upper Extremity Fatigue Level and Muscle Oxygenation

The aim of this study was to measure the acute change in oxygen saturation of skeletal muscle during resistance exercise in the upper extremity using near-infrared spectroscopy.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Our study aims to determine the acute oxygen response in the upper extremity muscles against a resistance exercise fatigue protocol, in order to demonstrate the effect of muscle oxygenation levels on the occurrence of symptoms such as fatigue in upper extremity use, and to provide reference information for the development of exercise programs.

It is known that resistance exercise increases resting energy expenditure and promotes fat oxidation for weight loss. Changes in cardiopulmonary function that occur in chronic diseases reduce oxygen uptake and decrease energy production, leading to increased fatigue. Resistance exercises in chronic diseases can regulate an individual's energy production capacity.

The main objective of our study is to investigate the effect of muscle oxygenation levels on the occurrence of symptoms such as fatigue by determining the oxygen response in the upper extremity muscles based on a resistance exercise protocol.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Determination of Blood Pressure
Time Frame: Measurement will be made before and immediately after exercise.
Systolic/diastolic blood pressure will be determined with a digital blood pressure monitor and will be recorded in mmHg. Measurements will be taken via the right brachial artery in a comfortable position.
Measurement will be made before and immediately after exercise.
Saturation Measurement
Time Frame: Measurement will be made before and immediately after exercise.
Oxygen saturation will be measured with a pulse oximeter device and recorded on the form.
Measurement will be made before and immediately after exercise.
Muscle Oxygenation Measurement
Time Frame: Baseline.
MOXY Pro (Moxy 3, Firmware 1.1 Hutchinson MN, USA), a near-infrared spectroscopy device, will be used to measure the muscle oxygen rate (SmO2) and total hemoglobin amount (tHb) of the biceps brachii muscle.
Baseline.
Determination of Heart Rate
Time Frame: Measurement will be made before and immediately after exercise.
Heart rate will be determined with a digital blood pressure monitor and will be recorded in BPM.
Measurement will be made before and immediately after exercise.
