Muscle oxygenation by near-infrared-based tissue oximeters.

to the editor: In a recent article, R. C. Davies et al. ([2][1]) presented the results of a study investigating the effect of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage on the dynamics of pulmonary O2 uptake by near-infrared spectroscopy-based measurement of oxygenation in the vastus lateralis muscle
