Document Summary

There is a linear increase in oxygen consumption as the work rate increases; ventilation increases at the same rate as o2 consumption. Cardiac output or blood flow has a similar profile of o2 consumption; as cardiac output increases, it increases oxygen uptake. However, as a certain work rate is reached (lactic threshold), there is an increase in ventilation (a greater increase in ventilation than o2 consumption) thus oxygen cannot drive ventilation. Ventilation does not limit maximal exercise; ability to deliver oxygen to tissues is the limiting factor; but cardiac output is limiting for maximal exercise. The total amount of blood volume depends on how big you are but the average is about 5l. On the arterial side of circulation there are resistant vessels (on the venous side, the veins are capacitance vessels) where the blood pressure is going to be based on the diameter of the arterial side of ventilation.
