| Abstract |
Three-stage effort tests corresponding to an oxygen uptake of 1,050, 1,350, and 1,650ml/min were performed in 38 healthy mine rescue workers following a basic examination in normal or hypoxic conditions and low atmospheric pressure. Significant cardiocirculatory, pulmonary and metabolic changes occurred above all in stages 2 and 3 of the tests, showing that the load limit was being approached but had not been exceeded. Thus under these hypoxic conditions the starting point for training measures is at stages 2 and 3 of the effort tests. |
