This study used both PortaMon & PortaLite to examine how hypoxemia (anemia+hypoxia) affects brain & muscle oxygenation in women during max exercise.
🟡 Anemic women experienced greater reductions in VO₂max, peak power output & cerebral oxygenation
🔵 Skeletal muscle failed to increase O₂ utilization at maximal effort
🟡 The cardiovascular system was unable to fully compensate, resulting in exercise intolerance
