Oxygen delivery is not a limiting factor during post-exercise recovery in healthy young adults

Conclusion The present study shows that there was no improvement in the oxygen uptake and muscle oxygenation recovery kinetics in healthy subjects under hyperoxic conditions. Slower TSI and VO2 recovery kinetics under hypoxic conditions indicate that both NIRS and spiro-ergometry are appropriate non-invasive measurement tools to assess the physiological response of a healthy individual to hypoxic exercise.
