چکیده

We tested whether there were differences in measures of respiratory muscle endurance between tests with spontaneously chosen breathing patterns and tests with fixed breathing rates in normal volunteers. Measures of respiratory muscle endurance-maximum load tolerated, mean mouth pressure at maximum load and peak pressure at maximum load were reproducible over three tests with the spontaneously chosen breathing pattern. There was no difference in these measurements between the three tests with fixed breathing frequency. There was no difference in tidal volume, inspiratory time, and the ratio of inspiratory time to total breath duration between the tests in which breathing pattern was spontaneously chosen; there was a difference in these measurements between the tests with a fixed breathing frequency. We conclude that regulation of breathing frequency is unnecessary in the two-minute threshold loading test to obtain reproducible results for measures of respiratory muscle endurance.

Effects of oxygen breathing on inspiratory muscle fatigue during resistive load in cycling men.

The aim of the present study was to determine the development of the inspiratory muscle fatigue in healthy human during incremental cycling to exhaustion under mild and heavy resistive loaded breathing in air and oxygen. Minute ventilation, tidal volume, respiratory rate, inspiratory mouth pressure, and parasternal EMG activities were recorded during an incremental cycling test under mild (12 c...

Comparison of incremental and constant load tests of inspiratory muscle endurance in COPD.

The aim of the present study was to determine the relative value of incremental and constant load tests in detecting changes in inspiratory muscle endurance following high-intensity inspiratory muscle training (H-IMT) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In total, 16 subjects (11 males; forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)) 37.4+/-12.5%) underwent H-IMT. In addition, 17 subjects ...
