Hypothesis-generating for muscle PO2 recovery kinetics; leaves open translation to human exercise physiology.
Muscle VO2 falls with faster kinetics than muscle blood flow during the exercise off-transient, leading to a systematic increase in microvascular PO2.
McDonough et al. (2001) studied this question.
