Training augments quadriceps O2 uptake via blood flow; leaves open hyperoxia benefit in larger clinical cohorts.
Does endurance training and hyperoxia improve hemodynamics and O2 uptake in human quadriceps muscle?
Endurance training increases quadriceps muscle O2 uptake largely through increased blood flow and O2 delivery, which are not further enhanced by moderate hyperoxia.
Mourtzakis et al. (2004) studied this question.
