Cardiorespiratory responses during three repeated incremental exercise tests in sickle cell trait carriers

This study investigated the cardioventilatory responses during heavy exercise in sickle cell trait carriers (SCTc) and subjects with normal hemoglobin (control group). Eight SCTc and six control subjects repeated three incremental exercise tests (Iet) separated by 10-min recoveries. Cardioventilator...

Description
Summary:This study investigated the cardioventilatory responses during heavy exercise in sickle cell trait carriers (SCTc) and subjects with normal hemoglobin (control group). Eight SCTc and six control subjects repeated three incremental exercise tests (Iet) separated by 10-min recoveries. Cardioventilatory parameters were analyzed at rest and during the first and third Iet. No significant difference in the ventilatory parameters [notably, maximal oxygen uptake and the ventilatory thresholds] was observed between the two groups. The time course of power output showed a significant difference between the first and third Iet from 80% of to ( P
