65
Q

Pulmonary Adaptations to Endurance Training

A
  • reduce respiratort work at a given ex-intensity, lends more O2 to non-respiratory active skeletal musculature
  • max-ex: as Ve= Fb x TV, increase in VO2 max raises O2 requirement and elimination of CO2 via greater alveolar ventilation rate
  • sub-max-ex: endurance training reduces ventilatory equivalent for O2 (Ve/VO2) during sub-max-ex and lowers % of total O2 cost of breathing
  • decrease in O2 cost of breathing by ventilatory muscle enhances endurance by reducing fatigue and the non-used O2 by respiratory muscles is available elsewhere
66
Q

Babcock et al., 1998 - Endurance Training Benefits Ventilatory Muscles

A
  • inspiratory muscle fatigue occurs during prolonged intense exercise
  • enhances ability to sustain high levels of sub-max ventilation. training causes less disruption in whole-body hormonal and acid base balance that could negatively effect muscle function
  • increases inspiratory muscle capacity to generate force and sustain a given level of inspiratory pressure
  • performance is benefitted by reduced energy demand due to less respiratory work, reduced lactate production by ventilatory muscles and improve how ventilatory muscles metabolise as fuel
