Normal muscle oxygen consumption and fatigability in sickle cell patients despite reduced microvascular oxygenation and hemorheological abnormalities.

<h4>Background/aim</h4>Although it has been hypothesized that muscle metabolism and fatigability could be impaired in sickle cell patients, no study has addressed this issue.<h4>Methods</h4>We compared muscle metabolism and function (muscle microvascular oxygenation, microvas...
