Point-counterpoint

Point: In health and in a normoxic environment, O2 max is limited primarily by cardiac output and locomotor muscle blood flow

Point-counterpoint comments

Comment on Point:Counterpoint "Positive effects of intermittent hypoxia (live high:train low) on exercise performance are/are not mediated primarily by augmented red cell volume

Comment on Point:Counterpoint "The muscle metaboreflex does/does not restore blood flow to contracting muscles"
