[QUOTE="8404Vet, post: 191616, member: 7857"] Most importantly, BB I thought what you wrote was great. As far as concentrations, I don't know if i'm even smart enough to dig too deep into that sort of thing. I just know that our earths O2 percentage was 21%, Nitrogen 78%, Argon .98%, Carbon dioxide .03%. That doesn't change with altitude. But the density changes. As far as blood doping, it won't help an out of shape person keep up with an in shape person up a mountain at altitude. It does help the body's oxygen carrying capability, only by increasing the number of Hemoglobin. But if the body already has an adequate number of hemoglobin than it really isn't going to help too much. Would it help an anemic person, well heck ya! Further to make people more confused, or understand..... The advantage of an increased oxygen carrying capacity in blood doping is offset by the increased viscosity of the blood when the hematocrit reaches about 55-60 percent. Because of the increased viscosity of the blood, a greater driving pressure is needed to maintain a given flow. The work of the right and left ventricles of the heart must increase in order to generate the pressure needed to overcome the increased viscosity. Basically leading to heart problems. [/QUOTE]
