TL;DR: During incremental cycling exercise, theVO2 associated with the onset of a plateau in near-infrared spectroscopy-derived deoxyHb occurs in coincidence with the VO2 at respiratory Compensation point suggesting that respiratory compensation point can be accurately estimated, non-invasively, using near- Infrared spectrometry-derived measures of deoxygenated hemoglobin in alternative to the use of ventilatory-based techniques.

TL;DR: This initiative highlighted low PA levels in children and adolescents globally as measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, local/international conflicts, climate change, and economic change threaten to worsen this situation.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that, in older adults, PE, prior to moderate-intensity exercise, beneficially affects the speed of adjustment of oxidative metabolism due to an acute improvement of the local matching of O(2) delivery to utilization is tested.

TL;DR: The data confirm the specificity in the physical requirements of rugby in individual playing positions at all competitive levels and document significant differences among elite and 1st- and 2nd-division players in the same positional role.

TL;DR: It is speculated that impaired peripheral oxygen transfer and/or utilisation may explain the VO₂max decrease supine and the fraction of VO‽max decrease upright unexplained by cardiovascular responses.
