    Author: Geor RJ, Weiss DJ.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 1993 Dec; 9(3):649-67. PubMed ID: 8299020.
    Abstract:
    Pharmacologic alterations in the hematologic and rheologic properties of blood may have an important effect on transport and delivery of oxygen to working muscle during exercise. This article briefly reviews erythropoiesis, hematologic and rheologic responses to training and exercise, and the influence of these alterations on exercise performance. The hemorrheologic and performance effects of hematinics, hematopoietic stimulants, and alterations in blood rheology are discussed. The effects of exercise on blood coagulation, fibrinolysis and platelet function, and the effects of drugs that alter platelet function are briefly described.
