Can myoglobin from unused muscles be utilized

Adrian, thanks for the good input. Not exactly what I wanted to hear though.

Could anyone tell me if it is possible for myoglobin stored in unused slow-twitch muscles, to be recruited by the bloodstream and utilized elsewhere in the body during freediving? For example, can the myoglobin stored in the "arm tissues" help prolonge a dive session that is not requiring the use of the arms, or does that myoglobin only benefit the muscles where it is stored?

Thanks in advance,

Jim
