The aim of this study was to examine the effects of assuming constant reduced scattering coefficient (µFormula) 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 O2 saturation (StiFormula), incorporating both continuous measurements of µFormula and assuming constant µFormula. When measuring µFormula, we observed significant changes in NIRS variables at peak work rate {Delta}[deoxy(Hb+Mb)] (15.0 ± 7.8 µM), {Delta}[oxy(Hb+Mb)] (–4.8 ± 5.8 µM), {Delta}Total[Hb+Mb] (10.9 ± 8.4 µM), and {Delta}StiFormula(–11.8 ± 4.1%). Assuming constant µFormula resulted in greater (P < 0.01 vs. measured µFormula) changes in the NIRS variables at peak work rate, where {Delta}[deoxy(Hb+Mb)] = 24.5 ± 15.6 µM, {Delta}[oxy(Hb+Mb)] = –9.7 ± 8.2 µM, {Delta}Total[Hb+Mb] = 14.8 ± 8.7 µM, and {Delta}StiFormula= –18.7 ± 8.4%. Regarding the recovery kinetics, the large 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the difference between those determine measuring µFormula and assuming constant µFormula 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 – [oxy(Hb+Mb)] = 11.8 s, and MRT – StiFormula= 11.8 s. In conclusion, µFormula changed from light to peak exercise. Furthermore, assuming a constant µFormula led to an overestimation of the changes in NIRS variables during exercise and distortion of the recovery kinetics.
