Increased PIO2 at exhaustion in hypoxia enhances muscle activation and swiftly relieves fatigue: a placebo or a PIO2 dependent effect?

To determine the level of hypoxia from which muscle activation (MA) is reduced during incremental exercise to exhaustion (IE), and the role played by PIO2 in this process, ten volunteers (21±2 years) performed four IE in severe acute hypoxia (SAH) (PIO2=73 mmHg). Upon exhaustion, subjects were asked...
