Abstract: Digit ratio (2D:4D: the relative length of the 2nd and 4th digit) is thought to be a negative correlate of prenatal testosterone. The 2D:4D is related to oxygen metabolism, but the precise nature of this… read more here.

Abstract: To examine the feasibility of using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for physiological threshold detection and whether NIRS-derived parameters differ between highly-trained and less-trained cyclists. Twenty-seven male cyclists were divided into: highly trained endurance cyclists (EA) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/eurjpc/zwaf236.371
Abstract: The ventilatory thresholds (VTs) identified through cardiopulmonary testing (CPET) represent the gold standard for personalized exercise prescription. Considering that gender and health conditions impact the mechanisms of the exercise response, it is crucial to consider… read more here.

DOI: 10.2478/hukin-2022-0054
Abstract: Abstract Pulmonary gas exchange analysis was compared to changes in muscle oxygen saturation as measured by near-infrared spectroscopy. First, ventilatory thresholds determined by common gas exchange analysis and breakpoints in muscle oxygen saturation were assessed… read more here.
