Table 3. Changes from test 1 to test 2 in membrane factor for CO (DmCO), lung capillary blood volume (Vc), nitric oxide lung transfer (TLNO), carbon monoxide lung transfer (TLCO) and lung volume (VA) at rest and during exercise in Players and Control children. Data are mean ± standard deviation (SD).
