Why the study?
Does mild carboxy-hemoglobin or hypoxia alter muscle blood flow, oxygen uptake, and intracellular bioenergetics during exercise in healthy young subjects?
Population

Mild CO exposure should not yet alter clinical practice; hypothesis-generating for exercise limits in patients.
Does mild carboxy-hemoglobin or hypoxia alter muscle blood flow, oxygen uptake, and intracellular bioenergetics during exercise in healthy young subjects?
Mild carbon monoxide poisoning reduces arterial oxygen content and impairs exercise capacity and bioenergetics similarly to hypoxia.
Richardson et al. (2002) studied this question.
