The combined effects of hyperventilation and
arterial desaturation on cerebral oxygenation
(ScO2)
were determined using near-infrared spectroscopy. Eleven competitive
oarsmen were evaluated during a 6-min maximal ergometer row. The study
was randomized in a double-blind fashion with an inspired
O2 fraction of 0.21 or 0.30 in a
crossover design. During exercise with an inspired
O2 fraction of 0.21, the arterial
CO2 pressure (35 ± 1 mmHg;
mean ± SE) and O2 pressure (77 ± 2 mmHg) as well as the hemoglobin saturation (91.9 ± 0.7%) were reduced (P < 0.05).
ScO2 was
reduced from 80 ± 2 to 63 ± 2%
(P < 0.05), and the near-infrared
spectroscopy-determined concentration changes in deoxy- (
Hb) and
oxyhemoglobin (
HbO2) of the
vastus lateralis muscle increased 22 ± 3 µM and decreased 14 ± 3 µM, respectively (P < 0.05). Increasing the inspired O2
fraction to 0.30 did not affect ventilation (174 ± 4 l/min), but
arterial CO2 pressure (37 ± 2 mmHg), O2 pressure (165 ± 5 mmHg), and hemoglobin O2
saturation (99 ± 0.1%) increased
(P < 0.05).
ScO2 remained close to the resting level during exercise (79 ± 2 vs. 81 ± 2%), and although the muscle
Hb (18 ± 2 µM) and
HbO2 (
12 ± 3 µM) were similar to those established without
O2 supplementation, work capacity
increased from 389 ± 11 to 413 ± 10 W
(P < 0.05). These results indicate
that an elevated inspiratory O2
fraction increases exercise performance related to maintained cerebral oxygenation rather than to an effect on the working muscles.
