In recent years there has been a significant increase in the study of the features of the VO2 kinetic response by exercise physiologists. This is the first text entirely dedicated to the subject and represents a comprehensive review of research and its applications including: the effect of age, fitness and disease on VO2 kinetics an historical overview of research in VO2 kinetics practical guidance on the measurement of VO2 kinetics for research or diagnosis the practical application of research in VO2 kinetics in the understanding of exercise tolerance and athletic performance. This...

Since its inception in 1973, The International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT) has provided a unique forum to facilitate and encourage scientific interaction and debate. Welcoming scientists and clinicians from a broad spectrum of disciplines, each with their own particular skills and expertise, ISOTT unites them under the common theme of oxygen transport. The successful blend of scientific presentations and informal discussion which characterizes ISOTT is epitomized best by the many fundamental discoveries and technical advancements which it has spawned. The breadth and...
