ENDOTHELIAL SELECTINS AND PULMONARY GAS EXCHANGE IN FEMALE AEROBIC ATHLETES

Pulmonary Gas Exchange

altitude either during physical maturation (at age 10±4 yr) or as adults (at age 26±4 yr). The relative degree of acclimatization achieved in these lowland residents was assessed through their comparison both with normal sea-level values and with two additional groups of short-term sojourners and natives to 3,100 m. DLco at rest and work was significantly elevated above normal and above sojourn...

Pulmonary gas exchange in diving.

Diving-related pulmonary effects are due mostly to increased gas density, immersion-related increase in pulmonary blood volume, and (usually) a higher inspired Po(2). Higher gas density produces an increase in airways resistance and work of breathing, and a reduced maximum breathing capacity. An additional mechanical load is due to immersion, which can impose a static transrespiratory pressure ...

Pulmonary ventilation and gas exchange in bronchiectasis.

Effect of prolonged, heavy exercise on pulmonary gas exchange in athletes.

During maximal exercise, ventilation-perfusion inequality increases, especially in athletes. The mechanism remains speculative. We hypothesized that, if interstitial pulmonary edema is involved, prolonged exercise would result in increasing ventilation-perfusion inequality over time by exposing the pulmonary vascular bed to high pressures for a long duration. The response to short-term exercise...
