May warrant intensity-specific arterial gas interpretation in athletes; leaves open prospective validation and outcome relevance.
Does heavy and exhaustive exercise alter oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions of arterial blood in young athletes compared to rest?
Heavy and exhaustive exercise significantly decreases arterial oxygen tension in young athletes, highlighting the need to define work intensity when measuring arterial gas tensions.
Holmgren et al. (1958) studied this question.
