Why the study?
Does increased carboxyhemoglobin affect oxygen uptake kinetics during exercise in humans?
Does increased carboxyhemoglobin affect oxygen uptake kinetics during exercise in humans?
The selective slowing of VO2 kinetics with decreased blood O2 content suggests that O2 is diffusion limited during moderate and heavy exercise.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May indicate O2 diffusion limitation during exercise; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Koike et al. (1990) studied this question.
