Abstract

[Purpose] To clarify the relationship between changes in deoxygenated hemoglobin level due to cycling exercise and body composition in healthy participants with unilateral lower-limb obstruction. [Participants and Methods] The height, weight, body mass index, and body composition (skeletal muscle mass, body water content, and body fat percentage) of nine healthy males were measured along with the anaerobic threshold. The protocol consisted of 7 minutes of rest followed by 4 minutes of cycling exercise (anaerobic threshold level) with unilateral lower extremity occlusion. After exercise, ischemia was released, and the participants was allowed rest for 5 minutes. Deoxygenated hemoglobin levels before and after the exercise and the relationship between the level of variation and each index were examined. [Results] Body water content and skeletal muscle mass showed a significant negative correlation with changes in deoxygenated hemoglobin level; however, no correlation was found for the other indices. Body water content and skeletal muscle mass were found to be significantly positively correlated. they showed a significant positive correlation with deoxygenated hemoglobin levels. [Conclusion] Our study indicates that body water content and skeletal muscle mass play a significant role in the recovery of blood flow following exercise.
