Muscle oxygen study for athletes and people with poor leg circulation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive camera-like device to look at how oxygen flows in your leg muscles. It will compare athletes, healthy people, and patients with early-stage poor leg circulation (PAD) to better understand muscle function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 74 years old
- You must be able to understand the study and give written consent
- You must be in one of these groups: a competitive endurance athlete, a weight-training athlete, a healthy person who is not very physically active, or a patient with early-stage peripheral artery disease (a condition where leg arteries narrow and reduce blood flow)
- You must not be taking medications that affect your heart rate or oxygen intake
- You must not have medical conditions that could make the study unsafe or affect results

This study looks at how blood flow and oxygen levels in your leg muscles change after a procedure to restore blood flow. It uses a special MRI scan to measure these changes, which could help improve future treatments.
This trial tests a new imaging device that measures oxygen levels in foot tissue to help evaluate peripheral artery disease (PAD). It could help doctors better assess blood flow problems without invasive tests.
This study tests a special camera (SnapshotNIR) that takes pictures of blood flow in your legs while you move them into different positions. It may help doctors better understand your circulation and diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD) without needles or dye.
This study uses near-infrared light to learn more about peripheral artery disease (PAD) in adults. It aims to help doctors better understand how PAD affects the body.
This early (Phase 1) study checks whether a tiny oxygen-sensing device works reliably while people with mitochondrial muscle disease (and some healthy volunteers) ride a stationary bike. The goal is to see if the sensor can measure oxygen use during exercise and help future monitoring or research.
This trial uses a special device to measure tiny blood vessels in the skin of patients with severe leg artery disease. It aims to understand how blood flow changes before and after a common treatment to open blocked leg arteries (angioplasty).
