To date, limited research has assessed peripheral tissue hypoxia to better understand LC symptom exacerbation. Forty\u2010six people with LC and 10 controls (CON) completed two submaximal cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPETs), separated by 24\u2010h. Near\u2010infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)\u2010derived signals from the left gastrocnemius muscle were continuously monitored before, during, and after 2\u2010day incremental CPET. CPET outcomes demonstrated impaired physical function on day 2 compared with day 1 for the LC cohort at rest and VT1. LC tissue saturation index (TSI%) remained elevated above rest for a shorter duration of exercise compared to CON on day 1 (2nd minute vs. 5th minute). On day 2, this response worsened for LC (Rest vs. 1st exercise minute: 63\u2009\u00b1\u20095% vs. 65\u2009\u00b1\u20095%;\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05); meanwhile, CON exhibited sustained TSI% elevation throughout exercise above rest (Rest vs. 12th exercise minute: 62\u2009\u00b1\u20095% vs. 67\u2009\u00b1\u20094%;\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). LC TSI% remained elevated above rest for a shorter duration of exercise compared to CON, worsening for LC on day 2. LC showed rapid normalization of TSI%, suggesting impaired muscle oxygenation and recovery during repeated exercise.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14814\/phy2.70873","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,24]],"date-time":"2026-04-24T04:16:08Z","timestamp":1777004168000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impaired peripheral oxygen delivery during submaximal exercise in adults with long\n                    <scp>COVID<\/scp>"],"prefix":"10.14814","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8608-8231","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Callum","family":"Thomas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Sport and Rehabilitation University of Derby  Derby UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ruth E.","family":"Ashton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Physical Activity, Sport and Exercise Sciences (PASES) Coventry University  Coventry UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Owen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Sport and Rehabilitation University of Derby  Derby UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ethan","family":"McNeil\u2010Angopa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Sport and Rehabilitation University of Derby  Derby UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jack","family":"Carr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Physical Activity, Sport and Exercise Sciences (PASES) Coventry University  Coventry UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Bewick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Respiratory Medicine University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust  Derby UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark A.","family":"Faghy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Sport and Rehabilitation University of Derby  Derby UK"},{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences Loughborough University  Loughborough UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41590-025-02353-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10122591"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-023-44432-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pcad.2021.06.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2016.0291"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thx.54.7.581"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2012\/985025"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/japplphysiol.00158.2023"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics8030066"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Davenport T.
