Abstract:

Document the effects of induced erythrocythemia upon aerobic capacity VO2max ventilatory threshold VT, and aerobic performance 3-mile track run, 3MT. Six trained male distance runners age 34.8 - 5 yr, hematocrit Hct 39.6 - 1.8, VO2max 4.10 - 0.56 L O2 min-1, received two infusion treatments in a double-blind, counterbalanced study. BT 760 mL autologous resuspended red blood cells Hct 43.5 and ST 250 mL isotonic saline were administered 7 days apart.
