Fig 1 Equations to calculate total haemoglobin mass, blood, erythrocyte and plasma volumes. CO, carbon monoxide; %COHb, percent carboxyhaemoglobin; [Hb], haemoglobin concentration; Hct, haematocrit; BV, blood volume; EV, erythrocyte volume; PV, plasma volume; lung residual volume, 1500 ml in men, 1200 ml in women; alveolar ventilation, 5000 ml min−1.

Fig 2 Unadjusted relationship between haematological variables and exertional oxygen consumption. Relationship of V ˙ O 2 peak (in millilitres per kilogram per minute) to tHb-mass (in grams per kilogram) (A) and [Hb] (in grams per litre) (C) in 42 patients. Relationship of AT to tHb-mass (in grams per kilogram) (B) and [Hb] (in grams per litre) (D) in 39 patients. AT, anaerobic threshold; [Hb], haemoglobin concentration; tHb-mass, total haemoglobin mass; V ˙ O 2 peak , peak oxygen oxygen consumption.
