Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Respiratory Muscle Training: theory and practice is the world’s first book to provide an "everything-you-need-to-know" guide to respiratory muscle training (RMT). Authored by an internationally-acclaimed expert, it is an evidence-based resource, built upon current scientific knowledge, as well as experience at the cutting-edge of respiratory training in a wide range of settings. The aim of the book is to give readers: 1) an introduction to respiratory physiology and exercise physiology, as well as training theory; 2) an understanding of how disease affects the respiratory muscles and the mechanics of breathing; 3) an insight into the disease-specific, evidence-based benefits of RMT; 4) advice on the application of RMT as a standalone treatment, and as part of a rehabilitation programme; and finally, 5) guidance on the application of functional training techniques to RMT. The book is divided into two parts – theory and practice. Part I provides readers with access to the theoretical building blocks that support practice. It explores the evidence base for RMT as well as the different methods of training respiratory muscles and their respective efficacy. Part II guides the reader through the practical implementation of the most widely validated form of RMT, namely inspiratory muscle resistance training. Finally, over 150 "Functional" RMT exercises are described, which incorporate a stability and/or postural challenge – and address specific movements that provoke dyspnoea. Respiratory Muscle Training: theory and practice is supported by a dedicated website (www.physiobreathe.com), which provides access to the latest information on RMT, as well as video clips of all exercises described in the book. Purchasers will also receive a three-month free trial of the Physiotec software platform (via www.physiotec.ca), which allows clinicians to create bespoke training programmes (including video clips) that can be printed or emailed to patients. Introductory overviews of respiratory and exercise physiology, as well as training theory Comprehensive, up-to-date review of respiratory muscle function, breathing mechanics and RMT Analysis of the interaction between disease and respiratory mechanics, as well as their independent and combined influence upon exercise tolerance Analysis of the rationale and application of RMT to over 20 clinical conditions, e.g., COPD, heart failure, obesity, mechanical ventilation Evidence-based guidance on the implementation of inspiratory muscle resistance training Over 150 functional exercises that incorporate a breathing challenge www.physiobreathe.com - access up-to-date information, video clips of exercises and a three-month free trial of Physiotec’s RMT exercise module (via www.physiotec.ca)
Download or read book Respiratory Muscle Training Improves Exercise Endurance at Altitude written by Samuel Helfer and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have been traveling to high altitude for centuries where they are faced with adverse environmental conditions. As one ascends to elevation, the barometric pressure is reduced and the air gets thinner. These changes affect the partial pressure of gases in the ambient air. The decreased partial pressures of oxygen affects physiological processes, such as increased ventilation (hyperventilation), vascular tone and the decreased capacity for cellular metabolism. These changes have serious implications on exercise capacity and overall safety of individuals exposed to these conditions as well as their health. Prior studies have shown voluntary isocapnic hyperpnea training (VIHT) to eliminate the hyperventilatory response associated with exercise at sea level. Since high altitude provokes hyperventilation at rest, and the addition of higher intensity exercise exacerbates this response, the respiratory muscles have a higher propensity to fatigue, further limiting exercise capacity. High ventilation rates, especially at altitude, cause significant decreases in the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) leading to the constriction of blood vessels. The constriction has potential detrimental effects on cerebral oxygenation and therefore central fatigue. These factors, taken together, produce severe limitations on exercise capacity at altitude. This study was designed to measure the effects of VIHT three days per week for four weeks on exercise performance at 10,000ft simulated altitude. Ten healthy non-smoking moderately active men were recruited, five of which completed the study. The subjects performed Pre- and Post-VIHT exercise endurance trials cycling at 60rpm against 75% of their predetermined maximal workload (determined at sea level) on an electrically break cycle ergometer in a hypobaric (decompression) chamber. Prior to the start of exercise and during exercise physiological responses were measured and recorded during exercise at altitude. Heart rate, arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv), diffused cerebral tissue oxygen saturation, end tidal CO2 and mixed expiratory gases were measured as well as ventilatory characteristics such as minute ventilation, respiratory rate and tidal volumes were recorded. All subjects training minute ventilation rates improved over the twelve training sessions, 37% on average. At rest, subjects SaO2 decreased 6. 6% on average from sea level to simulated altitude while heart rates subsequently increased on average from 73 to 86 bpm.^During exercise at altitude there was marked hyperventilation in both Pre- and Post-VIHT endurance trials, and more so in the post-VIHT trials, lowering end tidal CO2 throughout the trial. Corresponding to the hyperventilation, CBFv also decreased while cerebral oxygen saturation remained constant. Exercise endurance times improved 64% on average from Pre- to Post VIHT trials. These results suggest that VIHT reduces respiratory muscle fatigue, allowing subjects to breathe at higher ventilation rates for extended periods of time, which improves exercise endurance at altitude. Key Words:Altitude, respiratory muscle training, exercise, cerebral blood flow velocity.
Download or read book Effects of Respiratory Muscle Endurance Training on Cerebral Oxygenation and Hemodynamics and Effort Perceptions During Maximal Exercise written by Johnna Somerville and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a 4-week respiratory muscle endurance training (eRMT) program on the physiological and psychological aspects of central fatigue using, respectively, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and quantification of effort perceptions during maximal exercise. A secondary objective was to assess any impact of eRMT on respiratory health and exercise performance. This study compared pre- and post-eRMT data from the same group of healthy adults. The results indicated that eRMT did not have any effect on respiratory function, exercise time to exhaustion, or physiological responses to exercise but significantly decreased ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) during exercise. An increase in the concentrations of oxygenated hemoglobin [O2Hb], deoxygenated hemoglobin [HHb], and total hemoglobin [tHb] during exercise was observed post-eRMT compared to pre-eRMT, and this increase differed by hemisphere. Based on these preliminary findings, we suggest an eRMTinduced left-to-right hemodynamic shift during exercise, consistent with the change from a novel to a learned task.

Download or read book Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical fitness affects our ability to function and be active. At poor levels, it is associated with such health outcomes as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Physical fitness testing in American youth was established on a large scale in the 1950s with an early focus on performance-related fitness that gradually gave way to an emphasis on health-related fitness. Using appropriately selected measures to collected fitness data in youth will advance our understanding of how fitness among youth translates into better health. In Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth, the IOM assesses the relationship between youth fitness test items and health outcomes, recommends the best fitness test items, provides guidance for interpreting fitness scores, and provides an agenda for needed research. The report concludes that selected cardiorespiratory endurance, musculoskeletal fitness, and body composition measures should be in fitness surveys and in schools. Collecting fitness data nationally and in schools helps with setting and achieving fitness goals and priorities for public health at an individual and national level.

Download or read book Regulation of Endurance Performance New Frontiers written by Alexis R. Mauger and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful endurance performance requires the integration of multiple physiological and psychological systems, working together to regulate exercise intensity in a way that will reduce time taken or increase work done. The systems that ultimately limit performance of the task are hotly contested, and may depend on a variety of factors including the type of task, the environment, external influences, training status of the individual and a host of psychological constructs. These factors can be studied in isolation, or inclusively as a whole-body or integrative system. A reductionist approach has traditionally been favoured, leading to a greater understanding and emphasis on muscle and cardiovascular physiology, but the role of the brain and how this integrates multiple systems is gaining momentum. However, these differing approaches may have led to false dichotomy, and now with better understanding of both fields, there is a need to bring these perspectives together. The divergent viewpoints of the limitations to human performance may have partly arisen because of the different exercise models studied. These can broadly be defined as open loop (where a fixed intensity is maintained until task disengagement), or closed loop (where a fixed distance is completed in the fastest time), which may involve whole-body or single-limb exercise. Closed loop exercise allows an analysis of how exercise intensity is self-regulated (i.e. pacing), and thus may better reflect the demands of competitive endurance performance. However, whilst this model can monitor changes in pacing, this is often at the expense of detecting subtle differences in the measured physiological or psychological variables of interest. Open loop exercise solves this issue, but is limited by its more restrictive exercise model. Nonetheless, much can be learnt from both experimental approaches when these constraints are recognised. Indeed, both models appear equally effective in examining changes in performance, and so the researcher should select the exercise model which can most appropriately test the study hypothesis. Given that a multitude of both internal (e.g. muscle fatigue, perception of effort, dietary intervention, pain etc.) and external (e.g. opponents, crowd presence, course topography, extrinsic reward etc.) factors likely contribute to exercise regulation and endurance performance, it may be that both models are required to gain a comprehensive understanding. Consequently, this research topic seeks to bring together papers on endurance performance from a variety of paradigms and exercise models, with the overarching aim of comparing, examining and integrating their findings to better understand how exercise is regulated and how this may (or may not) limit performance.
