Question

Dysoxia - how to decrease VO2.

a) Hyperoxygenation
b) Reduction of metabolic rate
c) Increased cardiac output
d) Altered oxygen-carrying capacity

Answer 1

To decrease VO2, you can reduce the metabolic rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Biology at a High School level.

To decrease VO2 (oxygen consumption), one of the ways is to reduce the metabolic rate (option b). When the metabolic rate is lower, less oxygen is required by the body for energy production. This can be achieved by maintaining a relaxed state, limiting physical activity, and avoiding heavy exercise.
