where does red blood cell production occur in adults?
hemopoietic tissues
epo stimulates the bone marrow in order to increase red blood cell production and thus the body's ability to carry oxygen. a study of 15 swedish athletes by the stockholm institute of gymnastics and sports found an improvement of nearly 10 percent in aerobic performance. "average" red blood cell volume of the population at sea level is about 45% red blood cells. about 5% of the population has less than 40% red blood cell, which is defined as "anemia" and 5% of the population, including many world class athletes, have a natural red blood cells volume of 50%... 1% of the population has 54% red blood cell volume.

runner’s macrocytosis is a phenomenon of increased red blood cell size as a compensatory mechanism for increased red blood cell turnover. the impact forces from running can lead to red blood cell hemolysis and accelerate red blood cell production. this can shift the ratio of red blood cells towards younger, larger cells. this shift may be reflected in higher than normal mean corpuscular volume (mcv) values, an indicator of red blood cell size.









































this is not a pathological condition but may indicate a propensity toward iron deficiency anemia due to high red blood cell turnover.
