The aggregation is determined by opposing forces, the repulsive force between cells, cell-to-cell adhesion induced by plasma fibrinogen, and the disaggregating shear force generated by blood flow. The investigators investigate how hypoxic exercise affects intrinsic/extrinsic factors of aggregation. Sixty sedentary males were randomly assigned into either hypoxic (HE; FiO2=15%, n=20) or normoxic (NE; FiO2=21%, n=20) training groups for 30 min·d-1, 5 d·wk-1 for 6 weeks at 60% of maximum work rate or to a control group (CTL; n=20). A hypoxia exercise test (HET, FiO2=12%) was performed before and after the intervention. The erythrocyte aggregation, binding affinity of fibrinogen and membrane biomarkers were determined by an ektacytometry and flow cytometry, respectively.', 'detailedDescription': 'The aim of this study is to clarify the effects of exercise training with and without hypoxia on the erythrocyte aggregation, further providing a feasible strategy for developing an appropriate exercise regimen that improves cardiopulmonary fitness and minimizes the risk of hemorheological disorders.
