Abstract
The problem whether oxygen consumption in skeletal muscle is limited by the blood flow was clearly put forward by Verzar commenting the results of in vivo measurements of oxygen consumption during short tetani associated with a reduction of blood flow [13]. More recently, the role of blood flow as rate-limiting of oxygen consumption both during exercise and at rest was suggested by several authors [1, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 15] on the evidence provided by experiments performed with spontaneous or artificially reduced blood supply.
