Effects of acute expansion of plasma volume on cardiovascular and thermal function during prolonged exercise
Abstract
Abstract To investigate the hypothesis that an increase in plasma volume (PV) is obligatory in reducing the cardiovascular drift that is associated with prolonged exercise following training, a plasma expander (Macrodex) was used to acutely elevate PV. Eight untrained volunteers [maximal oxygen consumption; V˙O2max 45.2 (2.2) ml · kg−1 · min−1, mean (SE)] cycled for 2 h [at 46 (4)% V˙O2max] in ambient conditions either with no PV expansion …
