Just before a competition, the blood cells are reinjected into the athlete, enhancing the body's oxygen-carrying capacity by 15 to 20 percent.

By taking extra phosphate, athletes can increase a natural enzyme that enhances oxygen-carrying capacity.

But by November he caught a viral infection that limited his blood's oxygen-carrying capacity.

Other invertebrates use respiratory proteins to increase the oxygen-carrying capacity.

Blood boosters increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood beyond the individual's natural capacity.

With iron deficiency, the poor oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood must be offset in order for the animal to develop to full maturity.

Any blood or fluid loss reduces circulatory volume and thus oxygen-carrying capacity.

In a year, he will spend four months at altitude, for the quiet and the increased benefits in oxygen-carrying capacity.

In athletes, the difference in oxygen-carrying capacity between men and women is much less prominent.

The climate is temperate and the altitude enhances oxygen-carrying capacity.
