New Findings What is the central question of this study? Does manipulation of the work of
breathing during high‐intensity exercise alter respiratory and locomotor muscle blood flow? …

Background Osteoporosis is prevalent in individuals with COPD. Updated evidence is required
to complement the previous systematic review on this topic to provide best practice. The …

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has consistently been shown to reduce exertional dyspnea
in health and disease; however, the physiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. A …

… Subjects refrained from smoking ≥1 h before visits and avoided caffeine, heavy meals, alcohol
… Webb, Azmy Faisal and Andrew H. Ramsook performed data analysis and prepared it for …

The objectives of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of respiratory muscle
training (RMT) on respiratory muscle endurance (RME) and to determine the RME test that …

We examined the effects of age, sex, and their interaction on mechanical ventilatory constraint
and dyspnea during exercise in 22 older (age = 68 ± 1 yr; n = 12 women) and 22 younger (…

Purpose The extent to which the diaphragm is targeted during a bout of inspiratory muscle
training (IMT) is unknown. The purpose of this study was to characterize the relative activation …

Understanding sex differences in the qualitative dimensions of exertional dyspnea may
provide insight into why women are more affected by this symptom than men. This study …

Although women experience greater ventilatory constraints and have a higher work of breathing
during exercise, they are less susceptible to diaphragm fatigue compared to men. The …

Dyspnoea is a major source of distress and is the hallmark symptom of patients with interstitial
lung disease (ILD). Supplemental oxygen may alleviate dyspnoea by attenuating arterial …
