Autologous Erythrocyte Infusion May Not Attenuate the Decrement in VO2MAX at High Altitude,

Abstract

This study investigated whether autologous erythrocyte infusion would ameliorate the decrement in maximal oxygen uptake_(VO(2)MAX) experienced by lowlanders when they ascend to high altitude. Sixteen men's _(VO(2)MAX) was measured (treadmill running) at sea leve. (Sfl), and on the first (HAl) and ninth (HA9) day of high altitude (4300 m) residence. After VO(2)MAX was measured at SL, subjects were divided into two matched groups (N = 8).
