The effects of haemorrhagic anaemia and physical training on the energy metabolism and heart rate response to exercise in sheep.
The energy metabolism and heart rate response to exercise were studied in haemorrhagically anaemic sheep. Anaemia did not affect the efficiency of food utilisation, but might reduce appetite. Anaemic sheep were at no particular circulatory disadvantage under the stress of physical exertion up to the levels imposed in this experiment (3-2km/h, 8 degrees -12 degrees gradient), but they appeared to undergo some circulatory adaptation, probably an increased stroke-volume.
