Acute hypoxia impairs endurance and exacerbates peripheral fatigue in healthy humans; leaves open applicability to patients with chronic hypoxemia.
Does acute severe hypoxia exacerbate peripheral fatigue and reduce endurance capacity in healthy humans?
Severe hypoxia significantly reduces endurance capacity and exacerbates peripheral fatigue of limb locomotor muscles in healthy humans.
