May suggest O2 supply limits adaptation at exercise onset in responders; leaves open chemoreflex effects on limb hemodynamics.
Does activation of the muscle chemoreflex via leg occlusion increase forearm blood flow and muscle O2 uptake at the onset of moderate exercise in human subjects?
Supplying more blood flow at the onset of exercise allows a more rapid increase in muscle O2 uptake, suggesting O2 supply may be limiting during the adaptive phase of moderate exercise.
