Comparative StudyEffect of arm cranking on oxygenation of vastus lateralis and lateral gastrocnemius muscles during leg cycling.
The purpose of this study was to compare the changes in oxygenation in exercising vastus lateralis muscle (VL) and lateral gastrocnemius muscle (LG) when arm cranking is added to on-going leg cycling. ⋯ The results suggest that HbD shows different changes in exercising leg muscles due to the difference in its activity level when arm cranking is added to on-going leg cycling.
