Document Summary
Do these factors affect your maximum performance: cigarette smoking, fluid in the lungs, smog/pollution. The answer to this question is yes, it does. How does oxygen get from the lungs to the working muscle: blood carries oxygen, physically dissolved in blood, bound to hemoglobin. Blood carries oxygen physical dissolved in blood (fluid) Bohr effect: at rest, there"s very little bohr effect, during exercise, increases metabolic heat, carbon dioxide, acidity (lactate, greater oxygen release at tissues, no effect on pulmonary capillary blood at normal alveolar po2 even during max exercise. Oxygen carrying capacity of hemoglobin: each hemoglobin combines with 1. 34 ml oxygen, bloods o2 capacity = hemoglobin x o2 capacity of hemoglobin. Iron deficiency anemia: decreased iron content of red blood cells, decreased oxygen carrying capacity of blood, decreased ability to sustain aerobic exercise. If your oxygen is already saturated you can"t saturate it more.
