What does it mean if you have low blood volume?
Low blood volume means that you do not have the amount of blood that you should have in your body. This could mean that you only have half, or maybe even more. Low blood volume could mean you are losing blood somewhere.
Why does an increase in blood volume result in a decrease in blood pressure?
It doesn't. The opposite is true. Blood pressure is proportional to blood volume. The greater the blood volume is, the higher the blood pressure will be. This is because there will be a greater volume of blood flowing through the blood vessels which means that a greater pressure will be exerted on the walls of the blood vessels, which means increased blood pressure.
How to calculate blood volume by body weight?
Blood volume is typically about 8% of body weight. An average sized adult has a blood volume of about 5 liters.
What is normal blood pressure for 20 year old male athlete?

Would a fitter athlete have a higher respiratory rate?
No. A fitter athlete will have a higher tidal volume, and greater oxygen transport; fewer deeper breaths doing more work.
How might an athletes vital capacity compare to a non - athlete?
An athlete's vital capacity should compare a non-athlete's by being much greater. Athlete's hearts pump stronger, carrying more blood throughout the body and oxygen to organs and tissues, allowing the body to function more smoothly. Their heart beat should be lower, as well as their blood pressure.
What is the blood volume of an average lab mouse?
The average blood volume for a laboratory mouse is ~6-8% of total body weight. So a mouse of 20g = 1.2-1.6mL. Note: you will not be able to collect this much blood as this is the total blood volume. The total peripheral blood would be ~ 60-70% of the total blood volume.
