Abstract

The following study analyzed the reliability of a new continuous wave (CW) device (Humon Beta, Dynometrics, Inc. Boston), assessing the Sm02 of the vastus lateralis dominant during four stages (baseline, warm-up, exercise, recovery) through a simulator alpine skiing protocol. Thirteen healthy participants were evaluated using a repeated measures design (test re-test) with 48 hours between tests. Results show absolute and relative reliability, or trend reliability, for peak and mean SmO2 measures during the four stages (CV: 5.14 - 12.90; ICC: 0.40 - 0.87). SmO2 is a performance limiting factor, therefore, its possible modification through training would be beneficial for the development of this sport. The CW-NIRS device can be a reliable tool to monitor SmO2 changes at different stages for alpine skiers, providing relevant physiological information for the practice.
