This review focuses on how blood flow to contracting skeletal muscles is regulated during
exercise in humans. The idea is that blood flow to the contracting muscles links oxygen in …

The defining characteristic of chronic heart failure (CHF) is an exercise intolerance that is
inextricably linked to structural and functional aberrations in the O2 transport pathway. CHF …

Sympathetically induced vasoconstrictor modulation of local vasodilation occurs in
contracting skeletal muscle during exercise to ensure appropriate perfusion of a large active …

Comprehensive exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a secondary prevention tool
used worldwide to improve prognosis in patients with various forms of cardiovascular …

Chronic heart failure (CHF) impairs critical structural and functional components of the O2
transport pathway resulting in exercise intolerance and, consequently, reduced quality of …

Patients with heart failure (HF) usually present with skeletal muscle diseases of varying
severity, ranging from early fatigue on exercise to sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity or …

Airway luminal area is the major determinant of resistance to airflow in the tracheobronchial
tree. Women may have smaller central conducting airways than men; however, previous …

In the healthy, untrained young adult, a case is made for a respiratory system (airways,
pulmonary vasculature, lung parenchyma, respiratory muscles, and neural ventilatory …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection results in
multiorgan damage primarily mediated by viral infiltration via angiotensin-converting …

Non‐technical summary We investigated the role of thin fibre muscle afferents in the
circulatory response to exercise in humans. The results not only document the importance of …
