Aerobic, or endurance, exercise is an energy requiring process supported primarily by
energy from oxidative adenosine triphosphate synthesis. The consumption of oxygen and …

Chronic heart failure (HF) is a complex multiorgan syndrome characterized by
pathophysiological changes in cardiac, vascular, musculoskeletal, endocrine, and …

Deep breathing exercises are commonly used for several health conditions including pain
and hypertension. Various techniques are available to practice deep breathing, whereas …

Breathing-induced changes in intrathoracic pressures influence left ventricular (LV) and right
ventricular (RV) volumes, the exact nature and extent of which have not previously been …

The objective of this minireview is to describe the physiology and potential clinical benefits
derived from inspiration. Recent animal and clinical studies demonstrate that one of the …

Heart failure (HF) is a complex and multifaceted disease. The disease affects multiple organ
systems, including the respiratory system. This review provides three unique examples …

Exercise intolerance and exertional dyspnoea are the cardinal symptoms of heart failure
with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In HFrEF, abnormal autonomic and cardiopulmonary …

Heart failure, a prevalent and disabling co-morbidity of COPD, may impair cardiac output
and muscle blood flow thereby contributing to exercise intolerance. To investigate the role of …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? The haemodynamic response to
incremental increases in negative intrathoracic pressure (nITP) during spontaneous …

The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of locomotor muscle group III/IV
afferent inhibition on central and peripheral hemodynamics at multiple levels of submaximal …
