Population
17 healthy males, comprising 9 trained endurance athletes (TS) and 8 untrained individuals (US)

SaO2 reduction may primarily mediate VO2max decline in moderate hypoxia; leaves open training-status effects pending larger studies.
Does moderate acute hypoxia reduce V·O2max and HRmax differently in trained versus untrained men?
The reduction in arterial oxygen saturation is the primary factor explaining the drop in maximal oxygen uptake during moderate acute hypoxia in both trained and untrained men.
Mollard et al. (2007) studied this question.
