[Work capacity of permanent high and low altitude dwellers]. 1978

M T Turkmenov, and D I Imankulov

Lowland and highland natives of similar age and physical fitness showed similar parameters of hemodynamics, pulmonary ventilation and gas exchange at rest. However, highlanders displayed lower lung vital capacity. Maximal work capacity of highlandders was higher. It was provided by lower tension of the cardiovascular system and higher tension of the respiratory system as compared with those of lowlanders.

D010101	Oxygen Consumption	The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body. (Stedman, 25th ed, p346)	Consumption, Oxygen,Consumptions, Oxygen,Oxygen Consumptions
D012119	Respiration	The act of breathing with the LUNGS, consisting of INHALATION, or the taking into the lungs of the ambient air, and of EXHALATION, or the expelling of the modified air which contains more CARBON DIOXIDE than the air taken in (Blakiston's Gould Medical Dictionary, 4th ed.).
