And here too, athletes are eagerly dogging the footsteps of medical researchers, specifically those working to treat chronic anemias, conditions in which red blood cells dwindle to dangerously low levels, starving tissues of oxygen. In athletes, prolonged exertion leads to oxygen depletion in the muscles, which causes fatigue...
