Abstract
The current study quantified muscle tissue oxygenation kinetics during and after a sustained isometric contraction at 40% of MVC. Oxygen saturation was assessed in the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) and flexor carpi radialis (FCR). Elite climbers used significantly more O2 during the contraction, and had a significantly faster time to half recovery than the intermediate and advanced climbers, as well as the control group. Elite climbers appear to have an increased ability for oxyhaemoglobin to off-load O2 into the muscle during exercise, and may have an enhanced PCr-resynthesis during recovery
