Repeated respiratory organ infections.Immunological abnormality.

Repeated abdominal exercise induces respiratory muscle fatigue.

Prolonged bouts of hyperpnea or resisted breathing are known to result in respiratory muscle fatigue, as are primarily non respiratory exercises such as maximal running and cycling. These exercises have a large ventilatory component, though, and can still be argued to be respiratory activities. Sit-up training has been used to increase respiratory muscle strength, but no studies have been done ...

Respiratory complications after solid-organ transplantation.
