Healthy aging acts to redistribute blood flow (Q˙) and thus O2delivery (Q˙O2) among and within the exercising muscles such that Q˙O2to highly oxidative muscle fibers may be compromised. Within the microcirculation of old muscles capillary hemodynamics are altered and the matching of Q˙O2to oxidative requirements (V˙O2) is impaired such that at exercise onset the microvascular O2pressure falls below that seen in their younger counterparts. This is important because the microvascular O2pressure denotes the sole driving force for blood-myocyte O2transfer and any compromise may slow V˙O2kinetics and reduce exercise tolerance. This review considers the microcirculatory evidence for a reduced perfusive (Q˙O2) and diffusive O2flux within aged muscle and highlights the pressing need for intravital microscopy studies of the muscle microcirculation during exercise.
