Overdot and overline annotation must be understood to accurately interpret V.O2MAX physiology with the Fick formula

Few formulas have been used in exercise physiology as extensively as the Fick formula, which calculates the rate of oxygen consumption (i.e., V.O2) as the product of cardiac output (Q.) and the difference in oxygen content in arterial and mixed venous blood (Δav¯O2). Unfortunately, the physiology of...
