Muscle StO2 parameters during sustained isometric contractions and arterial occlusion (AO). F = Force; RB = Baseline during rest; PB = Performance baseline; De = Desaturation rate during contraction and AO; Re = Resaturation rate after contraction and AO; ∆StO2 = Difference between rest and minimum during contraction and AO. Values in mean ± SD.
