Integrating muscle NIRS & HD-EMG: Gain advanced muscle insights
Both NIRS and HD-EMG are non-invasive and portable techniques for muscle measurements. Combining these two methodologies can provide complementary information and enable enhanced insights into muscle activity and metabolism in many applications. In this blogpost we explain both techniques and highlight the advantages of combining NIRS and HD-EMG!
Can restricting blood flow improve sports and exercise performance?
The artificial induction of ischemia (from Greek, meaning stopping/keeping back blood) was first shown to help protect cardiac muscle from injury in later occurring episodes of ischemia by Charles Murry and colleagues in 1986[1]. This technique came to be called ischemic preconditioning (IPC).
