Schmidt et al investigated how changes in total hemoglobin mass can impact a person's maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). The authors are from the University of Bayreuth in Germany.
equation 1 for VO2 max in mL per minute =
= (4.4 * (hemoglobin mass in grams)) + 513
equation 2 for VO2 max in mL per minute =
= (3.9 * (hemoglobin mass in grams)) + 1064
change in VO2 max in mL per minute =
= (3.5 * (change in hemoglobin mass in grams)) + 4.2
