| EIH Mild hypoxia | 71.9 | 83.0 | 140.4 | 101.8 | 36.4 |
| Non-EIH Normoxia | 79.8 | 95.1 | 147.4 | 125.9 | 31.4 |
| Non-EIH Mild hypoxia | 80.3 | 92.8 | 150.2 | 109.0 | 31.4 |
Data from reference8.
PETCO2, end-tidal CO2 partial pressure; PETO2, end-tidal O2 partial pressure; SaO2, oximetry estimate of arterial oxyhaemoglobin saturation; VE, minute ventilation; VO2max, maximal oxygen uptake.
