That the energy requirements for muscular exercise in the human organism are derived largely from the oxidative metabolism of carbohydrate in the working muscles has been known for many years (43). The chain of biochemical reactions within the muscle fibre which result in fibre contraction are known in intimate detail as are the neuro-humoral mechanisms controlling and coordinating fibre contraction in the individual fibre groups and muscle bundles . Concerning the physiological mechanisms controlling the participation of the respiratory apparatus, the heart and the blood vessels in increasing the supply of oxygen to the working muscles, there is little knowledge and much speculation.
