Transcranial Doppler estimation of cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular conductance during modified rebreathingJurgen A H R Claassen
Department of Geriatric Medicine, Radbound University Nijmegen Medical Center, The Netherlands
J Appl Physiol 102:870-7. 2007..Furthermore, quantification of the CVCi-Pet(CO(2)) relationship may minimize the effects of changes in ABP on the estimation of CVMR. The method developed provides insight into CVMR under transient breath-by-breath changes in CO(2)...
The effect of intermittent hypobaric hypoxic exposure and sea level training on submaximal economy in well-trained swimmers and runnersMartin J Truijens
Faculty of Human Movement Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Appl Physiol 104:328-37. 2008..No differences in submaximal HR, [La-], Ve, or velocity at V(.-)o2(max) were found between groups. It is concluded that 4 wk of intermittent hypobaric hypoxia did not improve submaximal economy in this group of well-trained athletes...

Intermittent normobaric hypoxia does not alter performance or erythropoietic markers in highly trained distance runnersColleen G Julian
Sports Medicine Institute International, Palo Alto, California 94300, USA
J Appl Physiol 96:1800-7. 2004..Four weeks of a 5:5-min normobaric hypoxia exposure at rest for 70 min, 5 days/wk, is not a sufficient stimulus to elicit improved performance or change the normal level of erythropoiesis in highly trained runners...
