High Altitude and Hypoxia

Attempts to measure blood flow and gas exchange in exercising muscle have been done for many years. In 1939, Holling measured the resting oxygen intake in the human forearm muscles by applying Fick principle. Using the same principle, Love (1955) studied the effect of exercise on oxygen intake in human forearm muscles. On the other hand, Jarisch et al (1929) and Asmussen et al (1939) used another method based on the idea that oxygen intake in a certain limb segment should be equal to the fall in respiratory oxygen intake followed by occluding circulation to that limb. As a part of the series of ; experimental works on muscular endurance, the present study was designed to measure the muscle oxygen intake at rest and following rhythmic exercise by using Fick principle (Ikai et al. l965, 1965, 1968).Ultrasonic measurement was applied to this study for the calculation of the oxygen intake of the acting muscle tissue in exhaustive exercise.
