Cardiorespiratory and oxygenation responses in iron-deficient anemic women during whole-body exercise under moderate hypoxia
Collectively, moderate hypoxia induced greater reduction of V̇O<sub>2max</sub>, peak power output and cerebral oxygenation leading to exercise intolerance in A compared to C. These responses were accompanied by an inability of skeletal muscle to increase O<sub>2</sub> utilization at maximal effort in H and by a failure of the cardiovascular system to compensate and counteract convective and diffusion limitations during maximal whole-body exercise in anemic women.
