Diagnosing Sport-Related Flow Limitations in the Iliac Arteries Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
Background: A flow limitation in the iliac arteries (FLIA) in endurance athletes is notoriously difficult to diagnose with the currently available diagnostic tools. At present, a commonly used diagnostic measure is a decrease in ankle brachial index...

Evaluating Arterial Blood Flow Limitation Using Muscle Oxygenation and Cycling Power
Objective: To explore the combination of measuring muscle oxygenation with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and cycling power during provocative incremental exercise for the detection of iliac arterial blood flow limitation (IAFL) in an otherwise...
