We monitored the oxygenation and blood supply in three quadriceps muscles (vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and rectus femoris) during squatting exercise to exhaustion.
We examined the oxygenation and blood supply of three quadriceps muscles [vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis (VM), and rectus femoris (RF)] during the descent (eccentric) and ascent (concentric) phases of squatting exercise in eighteen young resistance-trained males.
