Evaluation of leg symmetry in muscle oxygen saturation during submaximal to maximal cycling exercise. [PDF]
Eur J Sport SciAbstract It is unclear whether physiological responses, such as muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2), can be considered symmetrical during cycling. This knowledge has important practical implications for both training and performance assessment. The aim of this study was to determine whether oxygenation profiles in the three active muscles of both legs were
