Each of the pathways within respiration has been suspected of limiting maximal performance, suggesting that O2 transport may be affected by each single pathway. The use of the stable, isotopic O2 molecules 16O2 and 16O18O is presented as a novel method for assessing respiration.

The pattern of respiration may be differently changed by affecting cold receptors of different sites. Thus, the possibility of initiating the same effector response does not mean that these sensors are equal in their responses.
