Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The following main study parameters will be continuously determined with NIRS in the VM and VL muscle of the dominant leg: - Change in concentration deoxygenated hemoglobin (µM) - Change in concentration oxygenated hemoglobin (µM) - Change in concentration total hemoglobin (µM) - Change in concentration deoxygenated hemoglobin minus change in concentration oxygenated hemoglobin (µM) The following study parameters are sole values that will be determined from the CPET: - Relative peak oxygen consumption as percentage of predicted (%) - Ventilatory anaerobic threshold as percentage of predicted relative peak oxygen consumption (%) - Peak power output as percentage of predicted (%) - Oxygen uptake to work rate slope (ml O2 /Watt) The T1/2 (s) will be determined from the change in oxygenated hemoglobin concentration data from the VM and VL muscle of the dominant leg in the recovery phase. | — |
