Dataset of "Exploration of the associations between muscle oxygen saturation and skin temperature responses during isokinetic strength exercise"

This is the dataset of the paper "Exploration of the associations between muscle oxygen saturation and skin temperature responses during isokinetic strength exercise". In this study, we aimed to explore whether a relationship between skin temperature and SmO2 is observed after sets of isokinetic strength exercises. Seventeen males completed five series of 30 maximum unilateral (preferred) knee extension isokinetic exercises at 180º·sec-1 with a 60-second rest between series to exercise quadriceps muscles. At baseline, after a warm-up, and 50 seconds after each series of exercise, SmO2 and total haemoglobin related to vastus lateralis, and skin temperature of the anterior thigh were evaluated in the exercised and non-exercised legs.
