[Rheological of blood and oxygen transport in long-term adaptation to muscular load].
The blood viscosity became reduced after a long-term muscular adaptation in dogs. The main adaptation mechanism is associated with an autoregulated haemodilution and improvement of the red blood cells' microrheology (deformities and aggregation). The findings suggest that reduction in the haemodilution and the blood oxygen capacity are accompanied by a heightened efficiency of the oxygen transport. A sufficient correlation exists between the blood fluidity parameters and the oxygen balance in the body. Value of the optimum haematocrit in oxygen transport, is discussed.
