The BOLD MR imaging was performed at quadriceps to understand the hemodynamics at volitional exercise (VE) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to measure the total, deoxy- and oxy- hemoglobin concentrations to understand the mechanism of muscle hemodynamics. Measured NIRS data was then used for calculation of BOLD signal and compared to the BOLD MRI.
