Interrelationship between sex, age, blood volume and VO2max
Abstract
Circulating blood volume (BV) and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) are physiological characteristics important for optimal human performance in aerospace and military operational environments. Addressing the interrelationships between BV, VO2max, sex, and age together is relevant to identifying those individuals with greatest risk of poor outcomes from hemorrhage, as well as assessing the levels of performance competence of individuals deployed in operational environments. In the present investigation, we report and compare for the first time BV and VO2max in a cohort of males and females together to test the hypothesis that BV and VO2max is lower in older people independent of sex.
