Maximal O2 Uptake Is Higher During Whole-Body Compared to Lower-Body Exercise due to Higher Convective, but not Diffusive, O2 Transport

PURPOSE: Maximal O2 uptake (V̇O2max) is higher during whole-body compared to lower-body large muscle mass exercise. However, whether this is explained by differences in convective or diffusive O2 transport is unclear. We examined differences in components of the O2 pathway and mu...
