levels of athletes so what happens is that
aerobic exercise specifically, it expands what's called your plasma volume and this naturally reduces the concentration
of your red blood cells so what I mean by that is when you
exercise really vigorously, it will, in the short term, while you're
exercising, reduce your plasma volume by about 10 - 20 %.
