Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to investigate the cardiopulmonary-muscle linkage during the 2-minute walk test from the perspective of oxygen transport, to build exercise physiological baseline data, and to establish a method for evaluating muscle aerobic capacity using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) applicable to patients with neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

Other related information

The 2-minute walk test (2MWT) shows a high correlation with the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and has been adopted as an exercise tolerance assessment tool in the NIH Toolbox. In this study, we will measure muscle oxygen saturation of the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during the 2MWT in three groups (young healthy adults, elderly healthy adults, and Parkinson's disease patients, 30 subjects each, total 90). Physical cost index, pulmonary function (spirometry), grip strength, calf circumference, and SPPB (Short Physical Performance Battery) will also be assessed. NIRS measurement during maximal isometric ankle dorsiflexion will also be performed. The study aims to clarify the relationships among (i) endurance, (ii) muscle aerobic capacity, and (iii) respiratory function, and to establish a new method for skeletal muscle assessment.
