Increased capillary density and reduced diffusion distance after short-term immobilization does not improve muscle O2 diffusing capacity in heavily working skeletal muscle.

Immobilization-induced capillary adaptations fail to improve muscle O2 diffusing capacity; leaves open the role of diffusion distance in oxygen transport.
Hepple et al. (2000) studied this question.
