Gastrocnemius medialis and vastus lateralis oxygenation during whole-body vibration exercise
Article Abstract:
The effects of different whole-body vibration (WBV) frequencies on the oxygenation of vastus lateralis (VL) and gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscles during static squatting in are examined in sedentary and physically active males. The analysis clearly indicates that the muscle oxygenation of the VL and GM muscles are not much affected by the WBV exercises with high frequency and small amplitudes, similar to a nonvibration condition.

Quantification of calf oxygenation in paraplegic patients during passive leg movement
Article Abstract:
The findings about paralyzed lower limb of spinal cord-injured subjects though found interesting, the data given for muscle oxygenation is inadequate. Various factors like quantifying muscle oxygenation directly, consistent cand thickness of subcutaneous adipose tissue are not taken into account in patients and between patients and controls and hence the final data might not be accurate.
