Abstract

Assessment of the current physical performance of an athlete relies on monitoring several parameters in response to a stimulus. One of them is a fast march on a treadmill with regulated speed and incline. Because traditional parameters describing physical performance (heart rate, blood lactate concentration, \(VO_{2max}\)) do not provide specific information about muscle activity, an alternative approach is needed. This applies to muscle oxygen saturation (\(SmO_2\)), which can be acquired in a noninvasive way based on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The changes of \(SmO_2\) are evaluated as fitting the linear regression to three phases of the experiment: the march with the velocity of 4 mph (6.44 km/h), the march with the highest walking velocity, and the rest. The coefficients of linear regression indicate the decrease of \(SmO_2\) level during the phases 1 and 2 and the increase of \(SmO_2\) level during the rest. Observed values of linear regression coefficients of \(SmO_2\) during the analyzed phases indicate the usefulness of NIRS in evaluating muscle fatigue, which may find its use in monitoring the interval training.
