Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Near-infrared Spectroscopy; Muscle Oxygenation
• Interventions: Device: Exercise follow up with near-infrared spectroscopy

• Registration Number: NCT06294223
• Lead Sponsor: Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi

Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to measure the acute change in oxygen saturation of skeletal muscle during resistance exercise in the upper extremity using near-infrared spectroscopy.

Detailed Description

Our study aims to determine the acute oxygen response in the upper extremity muscles against a resistance exercise fatigue protocol, in order to demonstrate the effect of muscle oxygenation levels on the occurrence of symptoms such as fatigue in upper extremity use, and to provide reference information for the development of exercise programs.

It is known that resistance exercise increases resting energy expenditure and promotes fat oxidation for weight loss. Changes in cardiopulmonary function that occur in chronic diseases reduce oxygen uptake and decrease energy production, leading to increased fatigue. Resistance exercises in chronic diseases can regulate an individual's energy production capacity.

The main objective of our study is to investigate the effect of muscle oxygenation levels on the occurrence of symptoms such as fatigue by determining the oxygen response in the upper extremity muscles based on a resistance exercise protocol.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Measurement of Upper Extremity Muscle Oxygenation	Exercise follow up with near-infrared spectroscopy	Measuring muscle oxygenation with fatigue protocol.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Muscle Oxygenation Measurement	Baseline.	MOXY Pro (Moxy 3, Firmware 1.1 Hutchinson MN, USA), a near-infrared spectroscopy device, will be used to measure the muscle oxygen rate (SmO2) and total hemoglobin amount (tHb) of the biceps brachii muscle.
Saturation Measurement	Measurement will be made before and immediately after exercise.	Oxygen saturation will be measured with a pulse oximeter device and recorded on the form.
Determination of Heart Rate	Measurement will be made before and immediately after exercise.	Heart rate will be determined with a digital blood pressure monitor and will be recorded in BPM.
Determination of Blood Pressure	Measurement will be made before and immediately after exercise.	Systolic/diastolic blood pressure will be determined with a digital blood pressure monitor and will be recorded in mmHg. Measurements will be taken via the right brachial artery in a comfortable position.
