Exercise requires the integration of physiological mechanisms to enable both the respiratory
and cardiovascular systems to support the increased metabolic demands. During exercise …

INTRODUCTION—Physical exercise requires the coordinated interaction of ventilation,
cardiac output, and systemic and pulmonary blood flow and gas exchange to meet the …

Physical exercise can significantly alter health status and reduce the declines in
cardiorespiratory function that are seen with aging and inactivity. This article provides an …

Prudent, proper, and progressive aerobic exercise can improve the efficiency of the
cardiorespiratory system. Several physiologic mechanisms interact to enhance the body's …

2. Identify the acute cardiovascular and respiratory responses resulting from aerobic and
resistive exercise, as well as describe the long-term cardiorespiratory adaptations that occur …

The normal respiratory muscle effort at maximal exercise requires a significant fraction of
cardiac output and causes leg blood flow to fall. We questioned whether the high levels of …

During the past several decades, exercise physiologists have emphasized the importance of
regular exercise in the prevention of chronic diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle …

Physical activity and fitness are associated with a lower prevalence of chronic diseases,
such as heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, and diabetes. This review discusses the …

Introduction to Exercise Physiology identifies the key scientific content that is critically
important to the successful practice of exercise physiology. This text introduces students to …

Exercise intolerance occurs when a person cannot sustain a required work rate sufficiently
long for the successful completion of the task. The ability to sustain an exercise task …
