The Relationship Between Central and Peripheral Chemoreflex Sensitivities and V̇E‐V̇CO2 Slope Below and Above the Respiratory Compensation Point of Incremental Exercise
Abstract:During incremental exercise, the ventilation (V̇E) versus carbon dioxide production (V̇CO2) relationship exhibits a double‐linear response with an inflection of slope at the transition from hyperpnea to hyperventilation (i.e., respiratory compensation point (RCP)). Whether peripheral or central chemoreflexes contribute to the hyperventilatory response to incremental exercise remains undetermined. This study tested the hypothesis that peripheral and not central chemoreflex sensitivity would relate to the magnit… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
