Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) was utilized to gain insights into the kinetics of oxidative metabolism during exercise transitions. Ten untrained young males were tested on a cycloergometer during transitions from unloaded pedaling to 5-min constant-load exercise below (<VT) or above (>VT) the ventilatory threshold. Vastus lateralis oxygenation was determined by NIRS, and pulmonary VO2 was determined breath-by-breath. Changes in deoxygenated hemoglobin + myoglobin concentration ({Delta}[deoxy(Hb+Mb)]) were taken as a muscle oxygenation index. At the transition, {Delta}[deoxy(Hb+Mb)] was unmodified (time delay, TD) for 8.9 ± 0.5 s (<VT) or 6.4 ± 0.9 s (>VT) (both significantly different from 0), and then increased following a monoexponential function (time constant, {tau}, 8.5 ± 0.9 s for <VT, 7.2 ± 0.7 s for >VT). For >VT a slow component of {Delta}[deoxy(Hb+Mb)] on-kinetics was observed in 9 out of 10 subjects after 75.0 ± 14.0 s of exercise. A significant correlation was described between the mean response time (MRT = TD+{tau}) of the primary component of {Delta}[deoxy(Hb+Mb)] on-kinetics and the {tau} of the primary component of the pulmonary VO2 on-kinetics. The constant muscle oxygenation during the initial phase of the on- transition indicates a tight coupling between O2 delivery and O2 utilization increases. The lack of a drop in muscle oxygenation at the transition suggests adequacy of O2 availability in relation to needs.
