Why the study?
Does treadmill exercise increase cardiac output and oxygen extraction in normal male subjects compared to rest?
Population
15 normal male subjects (and dog preparations)
Comparison
Treadmill exercise at the maximal oxygen intake… vs Rest in the standing position

During maximal exercise, the 9.5-fold increase in oxygen demand is met primarily by a 4.3-fold increase in cardiac output and a 2.2-fold increase in tissue oxygen extraction.
