In prepubertal boys, hypoxia reduced V˙O2max and slowed V˙O2 phase II kinetics during moderate-intensity exercise, despite unchanged deoxyhemoglobin kinetics. These data suggest an oxygen delivery dependence of V˙O2max and moderate-intensity V˙O2 kinetics under conditions of reduced oxygen availability in prepubertal boys.
