Posture-controlled venous blood (~20 mL) was collected without stasis before exercise; and 20 min, 60 min and 240 min after exercise. Samples were drawn into sterile syringes and immediately transferred to chilled citrate (5 mL, Sarstedt, Leicester, UK), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA, 5mL; Sarsetdt, Leicester, UK) or pre-warmed (37°C)
Accepted version International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, 31/01/2022 8 EDTA tubes (10 mL). Haematocrit was determined from microcapillary tubes that were loaded in triplicate, and haemoglobin was assayed using microcuvettes (Hb 201, Hemocue®, Äbgelholm, Sweden) and a Hemocue photometer (Hb201+, Hemocue®, Äbgelholm, Sweden). Plasma volume changes were calculated from hematocrit and haemoglobin (Dill & Costill, 1974) , and circulating measures of IFABP, LBP, sCD14, IL6, IL-10, and IL-1RA adjusted accordingly. I-FABP concentrations were measured as a marker of intestinal damage using a commercially available ELISA (Hycult Biotech, USA). LBP, sCD14, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-1RA were analysed in duplicate using ELISAs from R&D Systems. Inter and intra assay coefficient of variations were below 5%, except for the inter-assay CV for IL-6 (6.1%). All samples were assayed in duplicate.

VC (in ml; high precision digital electronic spirometer, Donghuateng Sports Apparatus Ltd, Beijing, CN) and hemoglobin concentration [Hb] (in mg per l; HemoCue Hb 201; HemoCue AB, Angelholm, Sweden) were diagnosed by medical personnel of the Shanghai University of Sport. The typical error for the expiratory VC measurement is 1.7% [46 (link)]. Arterialized blood samples were taken from a hyperemized earlobe to determine the [Hb]. [Hb] was assessed photometrically (HemoCue® HB201+, HemoCue AB, Sweden). The typical error for [Hb] measurement with this device is as accurate as CV < 1.0% (limits of agreement –1.28 to 0.20 gr/dL; [47 (link)]). The HR at rest was recorded in all five periodical measurements for 2 min immediately after awakening in the morning by positioning an H7 Bluetooth HR strap (Polar Electro, Kempele, Finland) on the chest.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood hemoglobin level was measured using HemoCue Hb201+. To measure blood hemoglobin level, the patient's forefinger was prepared by wiping the tip with alcohol to sterilize the area and then allowed to dry. The sterilized area was then pricked with a lancet and a drop of blood collected into a microcuvette. The microcuvette filled with the blood was then inserted into the HemoCue Hb201+ for the hemoglobin measurement. The measured hemoglobin was classified as normal (Hb > 13 g/dL for men and Hb > 12 g/dL for women), mild anemia (Hb: 11.0–12.9 g/dL for men versus Hb: 11.0–11.9 g/dL for women), moderate anemia (Hb: 8.0–10.9 g/dL), and severe anemia (Hb < 8 g/dL).

Quantification of Cerebral Metabolic Rate of Oxygen

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Quantification of CMRO2 is based on conservation of mass (Fick’s Principle): CMRO2 = Ca · BFR/mass · (SaO2SvO2). Ca represents the oxygen carrying capacity of arterial blood and is defined as Ca = CRBC · hematocrit, with CRBC as the oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells (CRBC = 22.02 μmol O2/mL RBC (15 (link))). Hematocrit was determined via a capillary blood sample (Hb 201+, Hemocue, Angelholm, Sweden). Brain volume was calculated from T1-weighted MPRAGE images (16 (link)) using SPM12 (Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, University College London, UK) and converted to brain mass by assuming a tissue density of 1.05g/mL (17 ). SaO2 was assumed to be 98%, since all subjects were healthy participants.

Participants laid in the supine position for ≥20 minutes prior to venous blood sample collection. Paired resting biochemical data are reported from all seven older adults and five of eight young participants due to difficulties collecting blood samples. Venous blood samples and 24‐hour urine samples were analyzed for serum and urine electrolyte concentrations (EasyElectrolyte Analyzer; Medica, Bedford, MA, USA), as well as plasma and urine osmolality (3D3 Osmometer; Advanced Instruments, Norwood, MA). Venous blood samples were also analyzed for Hb (Hb 201+; HemoCue, Lake Forest, CA, USA) and Hct (Pre‐calibrated Clay Adams, Readacrit Centrifuge; Becton Dickinson, Sparks, MD, USA). Change in plasma volume (expressed as a percentage) was calculated using the following equation (Dill & Costill, 1974): Plasma volume%=100×HbCON/HbWD×1HctWD/100/1HctCON/100100.
Urine specific gravity was determined from the spot and 24‐hour urine samples. Young female participants’ spot urine samples were also used to confirm that they were not pregnant (hCG cassettes, Moore Medical).
