Measuring muscle oxygen levels during resistance exercise
Investigation of the Correlation Between Upper Extremity Fatigue Level and Muscle Oxygenation
This study is testing how oxygen levels in arm muscles change during resistance exercises to see if it can help people with chronic diseases manage fatigue better.

What this trial studies
This study aims to measure the acute changes in oxygen saturation of skeletal muscles in the upper extremities during resistance exercise using near-infrared spectroscopy. By applying a fatigue protocol, the research will assess how muscle oxygenation levels affect fatigue symptoms during upper extremity use. The findings could provide valuable insights for developing tailored exercise programs, particularly for individuals with chronic diseases that impact energy production and fatigue. The study will involve participants performing resistance exercises while their muscle oxygen levels are monitored.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old with a BMI between 23-30 kg/m2 and no significant orthopedic, neurological, or cardiopulmonary comorbidities.
Not a fit: Patients with orthopedic diseases affecting the upper extremity, previous surgeries, or those with cardiopulmonary diseases that prevent exercise may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help develop more effective exercise programs for individuals experiencing fatigue due to chronic conditions.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach of using near-infrared spectroscopy in exercise studies is established, the specific focus on muscle oxygenation during resistance exercise in this context may provide novel insights.
