| Research Abstract |
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a widely used non-invasive method to measure human brain activation based on cerebral hemodynamic response. NIRS has allowed researchers to visualize cortical activation patterns during human gait. However, systemic changes influence the measured signals. We determined the relationship between NIRS signals and skin blood flow (SBF) or blood pressure during dynamic movement. Healthy volunteers participated in this study. The pulse wave velocity was normal range. The oxyhemoglobin signal (O2Hb), SBF, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were measured while the subjects performed exercise on a cycle ergometer at workloads corresponding to 30%, 50%, and 70% VO2peak. During the exercise, VO2, VCO2, HR, MAP and SBF were increased with increasing load on the cycle ergometer. However, O2Hb decreased during 70% VO2peak.
