During strenuous exercise, the oxygen demand can increase as much as 16-fold to 4 L/min or more. Under such conditions, the cardiac output would have to be greater than 1000 L/min if physically dissolved oxygen were to supply all the oxygen required by the tissues. The maximum cardiac outputs attainable by normal adults during strenuous exercise are in the range of 25 L/min. Clearly, the physically dissolved oxygen in the blood cannot meet the metabolic demand for oxygen, even at rest.
