Effect of exercise-induced arterial O(2) desaturation on VO(2max) in women
Article Abstract:
This study indicates that exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia has a detrimental effect on the maximal aerobic capacity of habitually active women with different fitness levels. Results of two incremental treadmill tests suggest that inadequate pulmonary structure and function are limiting factors in oxygen transport and utilization.

ACSM, MSSE and cardiovascular and respiratory physiology
Article Abstract:
The respiratory physiology was not a popular theme at American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). Due to the problems like high altitude, aging, respiratory muscles and cardiorespiratory interactions, it has provided an opportunity for students of respiratory physiology to present their work and also receive critical feedback.

Degree of arterial desaturation in normoxia influences VO 2max decline in mild hypoxia
Article Abstract:
Exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia (EIH) is more common in athletes with a tendency to be hypoxic than in normoxemic ones. Researchers compared arterial desaturation levels in 18 male athletes after the completion of threadmill tests. The lung defusing capacity in non-EIH athletes did not decline much, while the EIH group showed a significant decline in VO 2max.
