Ferreira LF, Hueber DM, Barstow TJ. Effects of assuming constant optical scattering on measurements of muscle oxygenation by near-infrared spectroscopy during exercise. J Appl Physiol 102: 358-367, 2007. First published October 5, 2006; doi: 10.1152/japplphysio1.00920.2005.-The aim of this study was to examine the effects of assuming constant reduced scattering coefficient (mu'(s)) on the muscle oxygenation response to incremental exercise and its recovery kinetics. Fifteen subjects (age: 24 +/- 5 yr) underwent incremental cycling exercise. Frequency domain near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to estimate deoxyhemoglobin concentration {[deoxy(Hb +/- Mb)]} (where Mb is myoglobin), oxyhemoglobin concentration {[oxy(Hb+Mb)]}, total Hb concentration (Total[ Hb + Mb]), and tissue O-2 saturation (Sti(O2)), incorporating both continuous measurements of mu'(s) and assuming constant mu'(s) . When measuring mu'(s) , we observed significant changes in NIRS variables at peak work rate Delta[deoxy(Hb+Mb)] (15.0 +/- 7.8 mu M), Delta[oxy(Hb+Mb)] (-4.8 +/- 5.8 mu M), Delta Total[Hb+Mb] (10.9 +/- 8.4 mu M), and Delta Sti(O2) (-11.8 +/- 4.1%). Assuming constant mu'(s) resulted in greater (P < 0.01 vs. measured mu'(s)) changes in the NIRS variables at peak work rate, where Delta[deoxy(Hb+Mb)] = 24.5 +/- 15.6 mu M, Delta[oxy(Hb+Mb)] = -9.7 +/- 8.2 mu M, Delta Total[Hb+Mb] = 14.8 +/- 8.7 mu M, and Delta Sti(O2) = -18.7 +/- 8.4%. Regarding the recovery kinetics, the large 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the difference between those determine measuring mu's and assuming constant mu'(s) suggested poor agreement between methods. For the mean response time (MRT), which describes the overall kinetics, the 95% confidence intervals were MRT - [deoxy(Hb+Mb)] = 26.7 s; MRT - [deoxy(Hb+Mb)] = 11.8 s, and MRT Delta Sti(O2) = 11.8 s. In conclusion, mu'(s) changed from light to peak exercise. Furthermore, assuming a constant mu'(s) led to an overestimation of the changes in NIRS variables during exercise and distortion of the recovery kinetics.
