Question:

Suppose your biking partner claims that hyperventilating at the bottom of steep hill climbs is a good idea because it will “increase the O2 saturation of the blood” and thereby provide “more O2 for leg muscles during the climb.” Hyperventilation reduces the CO2 content of blood. Given this fact, is hyperventilation likely to increase O2 delivery to muscles (as your biking partner claims) or not?
