The effects of endurance training on muscle oxygen desaturation during incremental exercise tests: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Minimum muscle oxygen saturation (SmO₂min) measured via near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a common measure during incremental exercise testing (IET). Our objective was to determine the effects of pre-to-post endurance training on SmO₂min (ΔSmO₂min) during an IET, using a meta-analysis.

Data sources

MEDLINE, EMBASE, and SPORTDiscus.

Study selection

Studies including healthy individuals had to meet the following criteria: (1) endurance training intervention; (2) peripheral muscle NIRS; (3) incremental exercise test pre/post training; (4) SmO₂ or analogous saturation parameter measured.

Analysis

A PEDro scale was used for risk of bias analysis. A random effect meta-analysis model was used to synthesize the e
