I was wondering if their are ways to increase a person’s VO2 max. Possibly through diet, breathing exercises, or maybe certain aerobic exercises.
And while we’re at it, is it possible to increase red blood cell levels?
This site has one regimen (involving lots of running) that can be used to increase one’s VO[sub]2max[/sub].
As for increasing red blod cells, exercise does do that, but your blood plasma is increased more, resulting in a lower hematocrit.
