Subject: RE: Argon - get fit?

As a follow-up to this, I have heard that overweight people might be able 
to tolerate a higher ppO2 than lean people.  Is there any truth to this and 
any speculation as to why?

Thanks,
Mike Wixson

George or anyone else

Are there any non-anecdotal studies that actually PROVE physical
fitness reduces susceptibility to DCI?

I don't mean obese vs lean, or even to suggest that being fit is not
a good thing per se, but does all this heavy training really give
any more protection than a rabbit's foot or a mouthful of vitamin E?
